National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW): April 20th - 24th!

"2026 is the 27th year of National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW), a vital initiative to spread the nationwide message of roadway safety and raise critical attention to the risks that workers, motorists and pedestrians face in roadway work zones every single day. This year’s theme is straightforward: “Safe actions save lives.” Using the event guides and other resources available, you and your team can promote NWZAW, roadway and work zone safety and plan your own awareness event.

This year’s NWZAW is hosted by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT). CTDOT will hold the national kickoff event and press conference on Tuesday, April 21, and has arranged for a variety of national events that week but you can participate and share the message of safety no matter where you’re located...

Safe actions save lives.

National Work Zone Awareness Week prioritizes roadway safety and emphasizes the everyday dangers roadway workers face. The message reminds roadway users of the importance of attentiveness and respect when moving through roadway work zones.

Make your plans to join the weeklong commemoration:

April 20 – Work Zone Safety Training Day

April 21 – National kickoff event with CTDOT

April 22 – Go Orange Day

April 23 – Social media storm

April 24 – Moment of Silence
