At NERC, safety is our top priority—especially for our crews working on the road.
In support of National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW), we’re reminding everyone to slow down and stay alert when driving through work zones. Our team is out there every day working hard to improve our communities, and they deserve to make it home safely.
National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is an annual spring campaign held at the start of construction season to encourage safe driving through highway work zones.
"Last year, 25 people lost their lives in Michigan work zones, including 22 motorists and three construction workers. Preliminary statistics also show approximately 6,000 work zone crashes in 2025."
