Work Zone Awareness Week
Work Zone Awareness Week starts on Monday, April 11 and TxDOT is reminding drivers to slow down in and follow proper safety protocols when driving through a work zone.
2021 was the second most deadliest year on Texas roads, with almost 4,500 deaths reported. Let's put an end to that. There were 250 deaths in Texas road work zones last year, a 33 percent increase from 2020.
