‼️‼️
MITA is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of two MDOT workers killed in a work zone crash on US-127. Our hearts go out to their families, loved ones, and colleagues during this difficult time.
Every day, thousands of workers around Michigan show up to build and maintain the roads that connect our communities — and they all deserve to come home safely. Every fatality in a work zone is a devastating reminder that more must be done to protect the men and women who keep our roads moving.
We call on drivers to slow down, pay attention, and remember that it is up to all of us to protect each other on the road.
Work zones are not just traffic delays – they are someone’s workplace. Someone’s neighbor. Someone’s family member.
We will continue to advocate for stronger work zone safety measures, increased enforcement, and the resources needed to protect every worker on every project across Michigan.
