I-41 lane closures start Monday between Fond du Lac, Winnebago counties
OSHKOSH – Commuters will be faced with lane closures along Interstate 41 for the next seven months starting March 10 to facilitate road construction from County D in Found du Lac County to State 26 in Winnebago County.
It's part of a $25.9 million multiyear project that began last October and is scheduled to finish in October this year.
The construction of 14.2 miles between Military Road and Winnebago County will see structure maintenance on 10 bridges, box culvert construction and extensions, culvert pipe work, slope grading, restoration, beam guard replacement, cable guard replacement, shouldering and pavement marking.

During constriction, I-41 will remain open to traffic with lane and shoulder closures, but motorists may encounter slowed traffic as a result of lane closures.
Two lanes will be maintained in both directions during peak hours. Traffic patterns are also scheduled to change to use temporary crossovers.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the project will improve deteriorating pavement and drainage structures on I-41 to extend the lifetime of the roadway and decrease future maintenance costs.
Repair and replacement of culvert pipes are expected to mitigate water on the roadways, providing safer travel conditions for motorists. Beam guard and cable guard replacement will also allow for a safer corridor for commuters.

When's the next full moon? Here's what to know after June's strawberry moon
The last full moon of Spring is rising at sunset on Tuesday evening. The strawberry moon appeared Tuesday, June 10. The moon in June is also one of the lowest-hanging of the year, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere. While the strawberry moon does appear with a reddish tone, the name derives from the Native American Algonquian tribes, who lived in the northwestern United States. The Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota tribes also used the name, which marked the wild strawberries in June, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Here's everything to know about catching a glimpse of the strawberry moon. According to while the strawberry moon typically happens in June, this year we are in a major lunar standstill — the two-year period of the lunar cycle when the moon's tilted orbit is at its greatest inclination relative to the celestial equator. The strawberry moon's low altitude will be made more extreme by the lunar standstill, which means we'll experience the lowest full moon in over a decade. The following dates list out the rest of the expected full moons in 2025: July 10- Buck Moon Aug. 9- Sturgeon Moon Sept. 7- Harvest Moon Oct. 6- Hunter's Moon Nov. 5- Beaver Moon Dec. 4- Cold Moon USA Today contributed to this story.

June's Strawberry Moon Is the Lowest Full Moon Since 2006 — Here's How to See It
Moon gazers are in for a special sighting this year. June's Strawberry Moon is not only the lowest-hanging full moon since 2006, but it will also appear in a wonderfully apt coloring and bring with it a star guest. Read on to find out everything you need to know about this lunar spectacle. The 'Strawberry Moon' is the sixth full moon of the year, and if you've been strawberry picking recently, you might be able to guess how this moon got its name. All of the 12 full moons have nicknames relating to changes in nature through the year. People all over the world gave the full moon names, but the ones commonly used today originated in Native American culture. Tribes used the moon cycle to keep track of the changing seasons. May's full 'Flower Moon', for example, gets its name from the abundance of flowers which start to grow around that time, and the preceding 'Pink Moon' is named after a species of wildflower that starts blooming in North America in April. June's full 'Strawberry Moon' refers to the ripening of wild strawberries. The full Strawberry Moon reached it peak at 3:44 a.m. EDT on the morning of June 11. The peak, Imo Bell, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, explains, is the exact moment 'when the side of the moon facing us is fully lit by the sun.' But, you still have time to enjoy the Strawberry Moon because a full moon can look fully illuminated for up to three days, starting the day before. The night of Tuesday, June 11, is still in the prime viewing window. You can find the exact moonrise time for your location at The Farmer's Almanac. The Strawberry Moon is always a special occurrence because it is the year's lowest-hanging full moon. Earth's natural satellite, as Imo explains, has to be directly opposite the sun to be fully illuminated, which means that when the sun is highest in the sky (always in the month of June), the moon will be at its lowest point. But in 2025, the Strawberry Moon is extra special. 'This year is even more extreme as we have reached a 'lunar standstill' where the tilt of the moon's orbit, which processes over an 18.6-year cycle, has reached its most extreme, resulting in the lowest full moon since 2006,' Imo says. And because the full moon hangs so low, the Strawberry Moon, amazingly, might actually kind of look like a strawberry. "The moon may appear reddish when it's near the horizon due to the scattering of the sun's light," says Imo. The sun's light, they continue, is all colors of the rainbow, which get "split and scattered", or refracted, through the atmosphere. "The blues, with shorter wavelengths, get scattered first, which is why the sky is blue in the day," says Imo. "The oranges and reds have longer wavelengths and are what remains after the blues have been scattered off, resulting in reddish sunrises and sunsets – and of course, a reddish moon when near the horizon." Alongside June's Strawberry Moon, another reddish celestial sight is possible. On 10th and 11th June, you will be able to spot a bright red star right next to the moon, the Red supergiant Antares. "The Moon and Antares together will be a distinctive sight since the star is red enough that it's known for being mistaken for the red planet Mars, with its name even meaning 'rival of Mars' in Ancient Greek," says Imo.

Most beautiful spot in VT? Yankee Magazine picked these two scenic views
Vermont is a great place to visit. With its beautiful scenic views, the lush forests perfect for hikes and nature walks and rich history, Vermont has everything that makes New England wonderful. And that's why Yankee Magazine included two Vermont locales in their list of the 12 most beautiful places to visit in New England. "More than anything, look through these photos and then find their equal wherever you may travel in New England: villages, cities, woods, waterways, orchards, farms," Yankee Magazine said. "Be alert for even the smallest moments of beauty." Here are Yankee Magazine's picks for best Vermont places to visit in New England. If you're looking to walk through a paradise of color and warmth, this Yankee Magazine pick might be perfect for you. What Yankee Magazine said about Shelburne Farms: "In a region of rocky soil and notoriously changeable weather, few things say resilience like gardens whose roots go back decades. Among New England's horticultural gems are the gardens at Shelburne Farms, sited between Lake Champlain and the property's 19th-century mansion turned inn. Created by the former lady of the manor, Lila O. Webb, they've been extensively restored—much to the delight of visitors to these verdant grounds more than a century onward." You can visit Shelburne Farms at 1611 Harbor Rd. Do you want to take your family out to a blast from the past? Then Yankee Magazine's other Vermont pick for a best place to visit in New England might be for you. What Yankee Magazine said about Burt Henry Covered Bridge: "Covered bridges weren't built to star on calendars,' writes New Hampshire author Howard Mansfield in his 2016 book, Sheds. 'They weren't built to be pretty.' Yet the same structures that once were practical solutions to 19th-century problems—including this classic Town lattice truss bridge in North Bennington—are now scenic lures for 21st-century visitors." You can visit the Burt Henry Covered Bridge at 475 River Rd. Rin Velasco is a trending reporter.
