Work Zone Safety Awareness Week Events Slated

Federal Highway Administrator Mary Peters is slated to join AASHTO President John Njord and officials of several other groups next Tuesday to observe National Work Zone Awareness Week with a national event. Many states will sponsor their own events. The observation, in a work zone beside Interstate 95 – part of Virginia’s massive Springfield Interchange project – aims to remind motorists that roadsides are workplaces for hundreds of employees who toil, at great risk of death and injury, to improve the United States’ transportation network.
