March 18, 2024

Spring is in the air and with the approaching warm weather comes the return of highway maintenance and work zones. The 2024 National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is scheduled for April 15-19. This year’s theme is “Work Zones are temporary. Actions behind the wheel can last forever.” The kick-off event is scheduled for April 16. 

Each year more than 700 fatalities happen in work zones across the nation. Both commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and passenger vehicle drivers need to be extra careful while traveling through work zones. Sadly, accidents resulting in fatalities involving CMVs in work zones have been increasing year after year.
