Work Zones are temporary. Actions behind the wheel can last forever. We encourage you to ignore distractions while driving and slow down in work zones. Everyone has the right to go home safely. National Work Zone Awareness Week is the annual spring campaign held at the start of construction season to encourage safe driving through work zones. #NWZAW #Orange4Safety #WorkZoneSafety

We’re only 10 days away! 🏃♀️   Clark Dietz, a Silver Sponsor of the Illinois Marathon, found a unique way to contribute to this year’s big weekend— course changes necessitated a traffic study to determine the location of the runners, the maintenance of traffic (MOT) from mile post 19 through 21, as well as aiding with the transition onto the Harold E Ruppel Memorial Bike Path south of Curtis Road. Additionally, we provided schedules of equipment (quantity counts) needed for the impacted municipalities.    Did you know that race weekend also includes a 5K, 10K, Half-Marathon, Youth Events, and Relay events? Please get out and cheer for those running for a cause, completion, a personal record, or just having fun! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gNrfRY_t

Not another eclipse post… but we’ll keep it brief: with the increase in traffic and travelers in the hours before and after the eclipse, studies show an almost 50% higher risk of accidents on the road. Please use caution and drive with care if you’ve travelled for an eclipse viewing event! Read the full story below - Link in comments ⬇
