ODOT continues to encourage work zone safety this week in Ohio

OHIO — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) continues to encourage work zone safety this week across Ohio.

>>Officials warn of motorcycle safety after multiple serious, deadly crashes

New numbers from ODOT show that 43 ODOT crews have been hit by a vehicle while working so far this year.

Last year, 56 ODOT crews were hit, and one contractor died.

There were more than 4,000 work zone-related crashes across Ohio last year, ODOT said.

That’s why it’s so important for drivers to slow down while driving through work zones and to pay extra attention.
