Work Zone Safety Awareness Week designated April 9-12, 2001

Mississippi motorists are encountering more work zones than ever before, and too often drivers take safety for granted, Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) officials said today. In an effort to raise public awareness, the week of April 9-12 has been designated as Work Zone Safety Awareness Week in Mississippi. This effort has been timed to coincide with the National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week.
