This year is another big year for construction as MoDOT works toward improving 5,600 miles of roads by the end of 2011 - better roads for a brighter future. These improvements mean more work zones. Here are a few of the things MoDOT is doing to help keep you out of traffic jams this construction season:

• Operation Orange - MoDOT launched Operation Orange in April 2007 to draw attention to Work Zone Safety. It features significant landmarks throughout Missouri being turned orange to publicize this important topic.
  
  
• Work Zone Location Maps

  The Online Traveler Information Map allows travelers to see MoDOT's active work zones before they get in their cars.

  Construction map– The statewide construction map identifies where and when major construction projects will take place, so motorists can plan ahead

• Multimedia - Radio and billboards around the state, as well as other educational materials, will remind travelers to Drive Smart and Arrive Alive.
