As the orange drums and chevroned barricades emerge from their winter hibernation, we take a minute to refresh on safety practices in the work zone. April 26-30 is Work Zone Awareness Week.
We encourage you to take this week's safety meeting to focus on work zone topics, department policies and procedures, and best practices that will serve your team in this year's construction and maintenance projects.
Missouri LTAP and MoDOT are partnering to provide free work zone webinars daily next week. We are pleased to extend this opportunity to Nebraska transportation professionals as well. Each day's webinar will run from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM CDT.
