Yesterday, two MDOT workers were killed in a work zone. These men woke up yesterday morning, kissed their families, put on their gear, and clocked in just like they had done hundreds of times before.
But they didn’t come home.
Every day, the men and women who work in traffic zones are trusting drivers to do the right thing. They are someone’s husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, friend. They are somebody’s everything.
And right now, two families are missing theirs.
This loss is felt across our entire industry, and we grieve alongside everyone who knew them.
Slow down, move over, and pay attention.
A work zone might cost you a few minutes travel time but Ignoring one can cost someone their future.
