AGC's Brian Deery joined FHWA Administrator Victor Mendez, Maryland state officials and other national groups to launch of National Work Zone Awareness Week. This year’s event took place at the Intercounty Connector construction site in Laurel, Md., along Interstate 95 which is the one of the busiest corridors on the east coast.
Speakers included FHWA Administrator Mendez, Maryland Transportation Secretary Beverly Swaim-Staley, and family members of victims of work zone incidents. This year’s theme is “Safer Driving. Safer Work Zones. For Everyone.” AGC has been a participating group since its initial launch in 2000.
