The Ground Hog says there is still more winter ahead of us. Here in Central New York we have had our fair share of winter. Thank you to our wonderful highway crews (County, Town, and State) who have been out around the clock for months clearing the roads and keeping us safe.

Wisinski has been the Superintendent for almost 20 years, what has changed in those years, what has stayed the same? The Madison County Highway Department maintains 435.05 miles of road, 124 bridges, and 186 large sized culverts (spans between 5 and 20 feet).
