Highway Work Zones Safety Week
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky highway officials are reminding motorists to stay alert when traveling in work zones. Road construction typically begins in April, and the state is observing Work Zone Safety Week this week to make drivers aware of the hazards that exist in areas where road work is under way. Safety officer Arch Sebastian of District 10 in Jackson says no one wants a car to come through their office traveling 55 miles per hour, and for road workers, the highway is their office. The district says last year, nine people were killed and 140 injured in work zones across Kentucky.
