Work Zone Awareness Week Events Planned

April 6-10 marks the 10th anniversary of National Work Zone Awareness Week.  The national campaign is conducted every year at the start of the construction season to raise public awareness about the dangers to workers and motorists when safe driving practices are not followed in construction work zones. Each year, approximately 1,000 people are killed in roadway work zones. A National event is planned for Tuesday, April 7 in the Washington, D.C metropolitan area. This year's theme is "Drive To Survive - Our Future Is Riding On It." AGC of America serves on the planning committee and participates in the National event and AGC chapters around the country work with their state DOTs to plan awareness events at the state and local level.
