I recall hearing some chatter within the past year or so about WisDOT being in the earliest stages of starting to study WI 26 north of WI 60, the planned north end of the current four lane upgrade projects. It's not like they're not aware of the situation on that part of WI 26, I've been prodding them on it :poke: since at least the early 1990s.
One thought about WI 26 between US 151 and I-39/90 that I had while driving it Monday that I have not had before is that it is starting to have a 'feel' to me that is a lot like US 10 between Appleton and Stevens Point.
Also, it is my expectation that WisDOT will begin studying the remaining four-lane section of US 41 (I-xx) between WI 15 at Appleton and Scheuring Rd in De Pere once the current six-lane upgrade projects are complete.

-When did all of the gas stations in the Madison area start requiring their cash customers to pay for their fuel before they pump it? That's the only place in the state that I know of where that is generally the case.

That's par for the course in Milwaukee. I swipe the debit card at the pump and avoid that hassle. I guess they had a spike in drive-offs in Mad Town or something.

I did a trip on Tuesday to the Wausau / Stevens Point / Wis. Rapids area on Wednesday. This is one of my favorite routes - and if I had more time, I would have gone out to Eau Claire. A few things of note with construction:
-I-39 / 51 - resurfacing job around Stevens Point looks to be near completion
-Hwy 29 interchange - Wausau / Chippewa Falls - those in the Green Bay area can look to that interchange to see how 29-41 will be set up over the next few years.
-In Green Bay - the 41-Mason St construction appears ahead of schedule

Everywhere in Texas is prepay. Hated working at the gas station in Minnesota & having to deal with driveoffs.

I always find it unusual if a gas pump is not prepay. Most of the time, I pay with a credit card outside at the pump, but if there is no card reader, I walk in and am always surprised if they tell me to go ahead and pump and come back and pay. I always expect them to take and run my card indoors first, before turning the pump on.
