DON’T CROWD THE PLOW: The winter storm is still impacting highways around the state. Snowplows will be working hard to make our roads safer for travel. Please give snowplows space, remain patient and avoid passing them on two-way roads.

WINTER STORM UPDATE: WisDOT traffic cameras show current conditions around the state as the winter storm continues. Visibility and blowing snow continue to impact travel. Highways are susceptible to snowdrifts as strong winds push snow back onto roads.

STATE PATROL STORM RESPONSE: The Wisconsin State Patrol continues to respond to the statewide winter storm with urgency. Here's a rundown on storm response over the past 24 hours.

The link will be updated throughout the day to reflect any future closures that may occur due to conditions created by the winter storm. DMV staff are working to contact customers with road tests and scheduled appointments to reschedule.

DMV CLOSURES: Due to the severe weather conditions caused by the ongoing winter storm, several Wisconsin DMV customer service centers are closed today, Monday, March 16, 2026. A list of the closed DMV customer service centers can be found here: wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wi…

We urge you to limit your travel today in these areas to emergencies and only what’s necessary. 511wi.gov and the 511WI mobile app are great resources to know current road conditions, road closures, traffic incidents and traffic camera views. Stay safe out there.
