Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association

Bunts, a squeeze, a sac fly. Finesse, teamwork and selflessness. Yep, the @Brewers won yesterday the same way our members go about THEIR work, too. Great day at the ballpark for our annual WTBA outing! #ThisisOURCrew

The John Nolen Dr. bridge project is tricky, especially keeping traffic flowing along the most important way into downtown Madison. Good news: WTBA members ZTI (@Walbecgroup) and Edgerton Contractors are keeping things on-schedule. Thanks, @WisconsinDOT for the update this week!

It sounds simple, but is no less true: coordination and communication are the keys to successful transportation projects. That's what makes our quarterly Consultant Council meetings super important. Thanks to chairman Jeff Bauer and @JacobsConnects for hosting us in MKE!

A permanent Design-Build program is officially official! Thanks to @GovEvers for signing SB461 this morning and for his ongoing commitment to our industry, @RepAlexDallman & @SenMarklein), @WisconsinDOT, and @ACECWisconsin. Here's to the future!

"It was perfect. It really was." Couldn't agree more w/ our Past President Dan Zignego's assessment of our Annual Convention in Puerto Rico last month. Check out the recap here!

"It is such a benefit for him to be here. Sec. Duffy is not only looking out for the admin’s priorities, but he is also sensitive to Wisconsin’s interests. It makes for a great and productive partnership." - Exec. Dir. Steve Baas. Thanks @SecDuffy for the time in D.C. this week!

“Things happen to people. You can’t change what’s happened in the past. What you can do is take extreme ownership of your own life.” Awesome message from @RobJonesJourney & @EchelonFront at our Convention last week. Check out followup pod here > podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi…

Leave it to a bridge builder to reference... bridge building... during his speech. Great message from our 2026 Board President, Mike Hahn! “This whole industry is bigger than anyone in this room and anything that’s happening out there. You need everyone, not just one."

Incredible scholarship/Transportation Education Fund auction at our Annual Convention last week. $219,000 raised across 94 items. Thanks to all who bid or simply joined us for an evening of free laughter and joy. One of the best moments of the week!

Four incredible days celebrating a fantastic 2025 and setting the stage for 2026 flew by in a HURRY! Thanks to outgoing prez Dan Zignego for a great Annual Convention in Puerto Rico. Here's to the year to come!

Of course we like roads. But sometimes, it's nice to hit the ice. Especially when it means supporting WTBA's ongoing legislative efforts. The fresh-caught fish shore lunch was a nice touch, too...

It was wonderful to celebrate Elkhorn's Jonah Wehmeier earning the latest monthly $500 Work Zone Safe WI scholarship during our CE Conference last week. Impressive young man (who took the course on his own volition, no less!) Help make our roads safer at workzonesafe.com

She's given more than 4 gal. of blood in her lifetime. But Arrow-Crete Construction VP Ann Neshek knows the pint she donated Tues. means something a little more, given in honor of her worker Nano Alvarez & the people killed in construction zones. Excellent cause! @BloodCenterWI

Extending our thoughts, prayers and sympathy for the people killed and injured in a construction zone crash in Maine yesterday. A tragic reminder that our members work in incredibly dangerous situations year-round. Please drive carefully.

Fantastic group at our first-ever WTBA PAC ice fishing excursion. (There WAS ice under all that slush, we promise!) Thankful for the comfortable temps, strong camaraderie, and support for our crucial legislative efforts toward building a strong, reliable transportation system

Idea sharing and respectful debate between people from a wide spectrum of industry backgrounds made the first-ever Utility Coordination Workshop a great success. Kudos to @ACECWisconsin, @WisconsinDOT & utility partners for helping develop a fantastic event this week!

Support WTBA's continuous efforts to keep transportation funding top of mind with lawmakers AND have some fun in the great outdoors while doing it? Yes, please! We accomplished both late last week during the 3rd-annual WTBA PAC Pheasant Hunt @MilfordHills. Awesome day.

Great news and an important step toward making these critical freeways safer and more reliable!

We made the season merry and bright, even if it was bitterly cold late last week. Thanks to all who attended the WTBA Holiday Party for food, fun, and festivities! We're grateful for all of our 282 member companies.
