In 2009, MoDOT will continue to improve roads and bridges with at least 32 projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act; more than 800 bridges as part of Missouri’s Safe & Sound bridge program; and improvements on 5,600 miles of roadway by the end of 2011, which will bring 85 percent of Missouri’s roadways up to good condition. These improvements translate into many work zones across the state, so 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.
- Multimedia - Various work zone safety ads will be heard around the state on the radio and seen on the internet, in several gas stations and also on our changeable message boards. Other educational materials will remind travelers to Drive Smart and Arrive Alive.
