KYTC discusses Work Zone Safety Awareness Week

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet wants to bring special attention to Work Zone Safety Awareness Week.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is making time to ensure the safety of its workers and bringing awareness and emphasizing the importance of work zone safety for everyone

Wes Watt, the public information officer with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in District 3, says, “This is something we should all be focused on really throughout the whole year. But this week, we are bringing special attention to how important it is because we have lots of men and women from all of our local communities. These are human beings who work and live in our local communities. They have families.”

Watt also shares that this recognition week is not limited to Kentucky.

This is a nationwide week of awareness, and being aware not only helps the worker. It also makes a massive difference for the safety of drivers who use the road.
