National work zone awareness week: Construction season begins

BOISE — Construction season is a time that brings mixed feelings for a lot of Idaho drivers. While road construction leads to improved roads that benefit all Idahoans, work zones can be bothersome and even dangerous if drivers aren’t paying attention.

On Monday, April 15th, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) joined in with states across the country for National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW). From April 15-19, they raise awareness for the start of construction season and encourage safe driving through work zones.
