GDOT officials say hundreds of their employees and contractors work on dozens of highway, bridge and intersection improvements throughout the state each day, with their work often bringing them and heavy machinery in close proximity to travel lanes.

With 57 GDOT personnel and many more drivers, passengers and contractors’ workers killed in highway work zone accidents since 1973, officials urge drivers to slow down in these construction zones and to remain attentive and cautious.
