The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is warning drivers to be cautious of pavement buckling as temperatures rise this summer. Pavement can buckle when the weather quickly changes from cool to very hot, causing pavement slabs to expand and push against one another.
Causes of Pavement Buckling
If the pressure becomes great enough, the pavement can buckle and create unexpected bumps or dips. While it’s difficult to predict if or where buckling may occur, WisDOT offers tips for drivers to stay safe on the roads.
