National Work Zone Awareness Week kicked off Monday
According to the New York State Department of Transportation, there were over 475 crashes on the Thruway and in work zones in 2024. These crashes caused three deaths and over 100 injuries. Two Thruway employees died and another was seriously injured in separate incidents while working on the Thruway.
In an effort to combat this, this year's National Work Zone Awareness Week's theme is 'Respect the zone so we all get home.' This year's campaign will involve awareness events, digital highway signs with safety messages and reminders, and social media advertisements.
'We can increase and enhance safety, we can provide additional equipment, we can provide additional trainings, we can get the latest technology out there, but if we dont have buy in, if we dont have cooperation, if we dont have partnership with the traveling public, its not going to work,' said Thruway Executive Director Frank Hoare.
A press conference on Monday kicked the week off, which runs from April 21 through April 25.
