INDIANAPOLIS – April 15-19 is National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW), an annual spring campaign to encourage safe driving through highway work zones at the start of construction season.
INDOT works to create safe environments on and off the road for construction staff and contractors, as well as the traveling public. Drivers should slow down, use extra caution, keep their eyes on the road, and limit distractions when traveling through work zones.
Join the I-69 Finish Line as they recognize this critical week. For more information, visit nwzaw.org.
