National Work Zone Safety Awareness week begins Monday

National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week begins Monday, April 8. 

It's a week meant to recognize highway workers who put themselves at risk every day to care for our roadways and the folks who use them.

The best way you can show your support is by slowing down through work zones and giving crews plenty of room to work each time you commute.

You can also show your support by wearing orange on Go Orange Day (Wednesday, April 10). That day is the annual Worker Memorial in Olympia to honor fallen workers and reinforce the work zone safety message.
