With Work Zone Awareness Week winding down, we ask that you remember the safety message, “Work zones are temporary. Actions behind the wheel can last forever.” Slow down, be alert, and avoid distractions to ensure everyone reaches home safely.
As always, your continued patience and attention to safety are greatly appreciated as we work to improve the I-41 corridor between Appleton and De Pere.
Thank you,
The I-41 Project Team
