Who is responsible for the maintenance on my road?
Please use this interactive map to find Road Maintenance Responsibility. If a road that is maintained by Milwaukee County needs maintenance services please use the Citizen Issue Reporter to report it.
Is there a way to get roadside litter or debris cleaned up?
MCDOT follows the WisDOT policy on litter removal from the County Right of Way. This applies to urban and rural roadways. MCDOT will pick up litter one time prior to mowing season.
Grass is tall in the median in front of my house. Can someone please come out to cut it?
MCDOT follows a typical 4-6 week mowing rotation dependent upon weather. Double check mowing responsibilities with the Mowing Areas Map to be sure the county maintains it.
Why does MCDOT only provide litter pickup once per year?
Milwaukee County only receives funding to conduct litter pickup time each year. All 72 county highway departments in the state maintain interstates, federal, and state numbered highways as contracted by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
How does MCDOT determine how much salt to use on roadways?
MCDOT follows best practices to maintain safe roads during the winter to and to use salt efficiently.
- For winter 2024/25, we have primarily used salt brine on our roads to reduce the use of salt.
- All MCDOT Highway staff are trained on an annual basis in partnership with Salt WISE Wisconsin.
- All MCDOT trucks have preset controls on the salters to prevent overuse of salt.
When is the fleet auction held?
Periodically, MCDOT, in partnership with Auction Associates, Inc., holds a public auction of vehicles ranging from lawn mowers to semi trucks with snow plows attached. The best way to be informed of the next auction date is to sign up for updates.
