Wisconsin roads panel reconvenes after 5-year hiatus

MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A bipartisan commission charged with making recommendations on what major Wisconsin road projects should move forward has met for the first time in half a decade.

It did not recommend adding any new projects Friday, Dec. 6, but Transportation Secretary Craig Thompson said it might at future meetings.

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers presided over the meeting. It was the group's first meeting since 2014.

The panel received updates about ongoing projects under environmental study and those recommended for construction.
