Vigil at VDOT Workers’ Memorial | Work Zone Awareness Week 2023

This week, April 17-21, is National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW). This year’s theme, “Work With Us,” aims to bring national attention to the shared responsibility of motorists and workers to ensure the safety of our work zones.
On Wednesday, April 19, VDOT and its partners hosted a vigil dedicated to transportation workers who lost their lives while performing their jobs.
Since 2006, VDOT’s Work Zone Awareness Week observances have included a recognition event at its Workers’ Memorial. The privately funded memorial is a place where family members, friends and colleagues can reflect on their loss and where the traveling public can become more aware of sacrifices made by state transportation workers.
