(Bob Hague, WRN) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has improved its winter road conditions report.

The DOT has updated 511wi.gov to expand and improve those reports. More than 14,000 miles of roadway will now be updated at least twice an hour by devices pulling in data. Previously only 3,700 miles were covered by field observations, which could only be updated every several hours.

According to a news release, the Maintenance Decision Support System, which counties use to schedule plowing and salting will provide data for the road conditions map. DOT recommends you check 511wi.gov as part of winter travel plans
