April 8-12 is Work Zone Awareness Week
INDIANAPOLIS – It is officially orange barrel season in Indiana.
Governor Eric Holcomb joined Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Smith, law enforcement, and road construction industry partners on Monday to kick off the 2022 Next Level Roads construction season.
According to the governor, more than 1,300 state projects are scheduled for construction on Indiana roads in 2022.
Combined with maintenance projects, the state is investing more than $3 billion to improve road and bridge conditions.
“Indiana’s economy is growing exponentially, and our state’s strong infrastructure plays an important role in that success,” Gov. Holcomb said. “This year’s Next Level Roads projects represent a historically significant investment in transportation to support our efforts to make Indiana a premiere destination to live, work, learn and play and stay.
With a record-breaking number of construction sites across the state, April 8-12 is Work Zone Awareness week to remind all drivers of their responsibility to keep work zones safe for workers and other drivers.
