Work Zone Safety

                                                                                                                                           

There are hundreds of Work Zones in Maine each year, ranging from short-term activities such as work on utility lines, tree trimming, mowing and ditch clearing, to longer term road reconstruction projects. Although most large projects are done when the weather is warm, work might be underway along the road anytime of the year. Work Zones can be found anywhere - on the Interstate, at bridges, hundreds of highways and secondary roads, and even local streets. Watch for orange colored signs that warn of upcoming work zones. Work Zones all have one thing in common – they require travelers to be extra careful – to Slow Down and Pay Attention.

MaineDOT wants everyone to be safe in Work Zones. That takes all of us - MaineDOT employees, contractors and others working along Maine roads and the driver. Let’s Work together to keep each other safe.
