(WTAQ-WLUK) — Do you change your route to avoid driving on particular roads in the winter?
A new survey revealed the three most-avoided winter roads in each state, and a busy highway in Northeast Wisconsin made the list.
According to RVWindshieldReplacement.com, Interstate 41 between Green Bay and the Fox Valley is the third-most-avoided road in the winter in Wisconsin.
The website says:
Heading north, winter conditions intensify. Snowfall increases, temperatures drop, and visibility can disappear fast during storms. Commuters in the Fox Valley know this is a route that demands extra caution once winter fully sets in.
The most-avoided road in Wisconsin in the winter, according to the survey, is I-94 between Milwaukee and Madison.
This busy corridor connects two of the state’s biggest cities, but winter weather can change the mood quickly. Snow, ice, and heavy traffic often combine into slow, stressful driving, and slick bridges can linger after storms. Locals often delay trips when conditions start to deteriorate.
Number two is Highway 2 in northern Wisconsin.
Up north, winter driving becomes about exposure. Lake-effect snow, drifting, and long distances between towns make US-2 a road locals tend to avoid unless travel is necessary – especially after dark or during prolonged cold snaps.
he top three routes nationally are all in Alaska: Seward Highway (Turnagain Arm & Turnagain Pass), Glenn Highway (Anchorage-Palmer / Glennallen) and Dalton Highway (Fairbanks-Prudhoe Bay).
The next two are in the Midwest: I-94 between Detroit and Ann Arbor, Michigan, and I-55 between Chicago and central Illinois.
