By Will Kriss Apr 27, 2021 4:30 PM LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) â National Work Zone Awareness Week is recognized April 26-30, and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is working to make sure residents know about it. In a release Tuesday, officials said Fall 2020 was a bad time for Michiganâs road and bridge workers. According to data provided by the Michigan State Police (MSP), n a matter of three months, five road workers had been struck and killed and three more injured in work zone crashes. As MDOT and other road agencies around the state begin another season of rebuilding and maintaining Michiganâs roads and bridges, it is critical that drivers, passengers and workers take work zone safety seriously.
