Talking Michigan Transportation: Work Zone Safety

In the wake of two recent road worker deaths in Michigan, Jeff talks with two people with expertise and personal experience in work zone issues:
– Lindsey Renner, supervisor of MDOT’s work zone safety section; and
– Craig Innis, an MDOT construction engineer injured while working on a project near Flint in 2016.

The fallen road workers include MDOT maintenance worker Kevin White, 48, who was clearing large debris from the shoulder of I-94 in Berrien County Oct. 23 when a passing truck lost tires and one of them struck him. The other, Barry Hause, 54, was an employee of Charlotte-based C&D Hughes. He died from injuries sustained when a car drove into a work zone late at night on Sept. 23 and struck him while he was repairing concrete on I-96 near Portland.

Both men left behind daughters in college and a host of other loved ones.

Lindsey talks about efforts in Michigan and across the nation to raise awareness of the risk involved in working in, and driving through, road work zones.
