The Federal Highway Administration has designated the week of April 21 through April 25, 2025, as “Work Zone Awareness Week.”
With this in mind, the Kewaunee County Highway Department would like to highlight the National Work Zone Safety Awareness campaign, which raises awareness for highway workers, the traveling public, public safety workers, and those of various highway contractors performing work for the counties and municipalities.
In 2023, Wisconsin suffered nearly 2,100 crashes in road construction and maintenance zones, resulting in over 700 injuries and 9 fatalities. Additionally, between 2020 and 2024 in Kewaunee County, we recorded 13 work zone accidents, 3 resulting in significant injuries.
The Kewaunee County Highway Department is committed to working together in 2025 to make Work Zone Awareness Week a success and “Protect the Zone, So We All Get Home”
