National Work Zone Awareness Week

 

It is National Work Zone Awareness Week, which raises awareness of the dangers highway workers and motorists face in work zones. Highway construction projects are continuing across the state with modified work practices, and as always, work zone safety is a top priority for the Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Turnpike Authority and partner organizations. Unfortunately, there are oftentimes close calls in work zones. Last year in Kansas, 1,420 work zone crashes occurred in which 437 people were injured and seven people were killed.

 

A few locations around the state will be lit in orange to highlight work zone safety, such as the Amelia Earhart Memorial bridge in Atchison. For more information about work zone safety you can go to KDOT’s website and click on the work zone safety slide.
