In this episode of Constructing Connections, we’re joined by Jason Zang, District Executive for PennDOT District 11, to highlight National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 21–25), themed “Respect the Zone So We All Get Home.” 

Together, we explore the challenges highway workers face—like distracted driving and speeding—and the steps PennDOT is taking to improve safety. From automated speed enforcement and zipper barriers to strategic detours and collaboration with law enforcement through efforts like Operation Yellow Jacket, the discussion emphasizes shared responsibility in keeping work zones safe for everyone.
