Transportation Secretary Shanté Hastings gathered with workers, contractors, utility personnel, and Delaware State Police officers Monday at the SR 1/Minos Conaway construction site in Lewes to emphasize the critical need for motorist safety around work zones throughout Delaware.
The Monday event was organized in recognition of National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual campaign held each April as construction activity traditionally ramps up for the busy season.
The gathering aimed to draw public attention to the risks faced by construction workers and the importance of cautious driving when traveling through active work zones across the state.
