Work Zone Safety Awareness Week
April 26 - 30, 2021

Drive safely, avoid distractions and obey posted speed limits.
Be courteous and patient. Set a good example for others on the road.

  • Leave the phone alone. Texting and driving is illegal statewide and talking on a hand-held mobile device is illegal in work zones.
  • Slow down when you see workers and, if it’s possible, provide additional space by moving over. Wisconsin’s Move Over Law applies to maintenance operations as well as emergency response units.
  • Show support for work zone safety with the social media hashtags #NWZAW, #DriveSmart, #WorkZoneSafety or #Orange4Safety (but please never text or tweet while driving).
  • Participate in “Go Orange Day”  on Wednesday, April 28th by wearing orange in support of safety. (#Orange4Safety)

Visit wisconsindot.gov and search “work zone” for more tips and information

Welcome to the Waupaca County Highway Department website.  We’re hoping to have this site be a resource of information to everyone.  Please use this website resource as a tool to help inform yourself of department bid information, contact information or any other highway related topic.
Please be mindful of our workers while traveling through our construction sites,
while snowplowing and other areas you see them working. 
Let’s have a safe 2021!
