MEDIA ADVISORY: National Work Zone Awareness Week [ [link removed] ] 04/14/2023 12:31 PM EDT
WEST GARDINER - National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) will be observed from Monday, April 17th through Friday, April 21st, 2023. For more than two decades, NWZAW has highlighted the deadly dangers of inattention at highway work areas. The theme of this year's nationwide observance is, "You play a role in work zone safety. Work with us."
On Tuesday, April 18th, the Maine Turnpike Authority, Maine Department of Transportation, Maine State Police, Associated General Contractors of Maine, and AAA Northern New England will participate in a press conference at the Maine Turnpike Authority's maintenance facility in West Gardiner. Speakers will highlight the importance of driving safely in work zones.
As a reminder, motorists are encouraged to slow to posted speed limits, eliminate distractions while driving, and be watchful for roadway workers and their equipment.
We are also encouraging everyone to wear orange on Wednesday, April 19th to raise awareness about work zone safety. Orange traffic cone pins will be available at Tuesday's press conference.
