Transportation Officials Predict Crackdown on Work Zone Speeding

Transportation officials say reckless driving and speeding in Interstate work zones around Charleston have raised concerns and may soon result in increased speed limit enforcement. A Department of Transportation spokesman said traffic violations are worst in a work zone along Interstate 64 near the Fort Hill Bridge where a contra flow lane is being used to divert traffic while structural repairs are made to the bridge deck. The speed limit in work zones is 50 miles per hour.
