Buildings and bridges across Kansas are lit up in orange lights to help raise awareness of work zone safety for the week of April 11-15.

Numerous KDOT buildings across the state will be lit in orange as well as the Governor’s Mansion in Topeka, Visitors Center in the Capitol, the front of the Topeka City Hall building and the Travel Information Center on I-70 near Goodland.

People also are encouraged to wear something orange as part of Go Orange Day in Kansas today to show their support and appreciation for highway workers and their efforts.

Stories will be shared each day by highway workers and highway contractors about their experiences in work zones here Kansas Transportation: National Work Zone Awareness Week 2022. Other information can be found on the KDOT website: http://www.ksdot.org/offTransInfo/GoOrange/WorkZoneSafety.asp?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

The Go Orange effort is part of National Work Zone Awareness Week, a national safety campaign that KDOT and numerous partner organizations participate in every year. The campaign highlights the dangers faced by highway workers and motorists in work zones and promotes safer behaviors.
