Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

Warm weather means more road projects and ODOT has begun a two-month work zone awareness campaign . The campaign, “First Line of Defense: Behind the Cones,” asks drivers to put away distractions and become more alert as soon as they see orange signs, cones and barrels along state highways and interstates. ODOT Public Relations Director Terry Angier said there have been 84 deaths in the past five years in Oklahoma work zones.

An important part of the campaign debuted on Monday with social media. The Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/WorkZoneAwareness will be an information hub about work zones and safety along Oklahoma highways.
