Willard McClanahan, a West Virginia Paving employee whose crew is widening that 2-mile stretch of U.S. 119 from four to six lanes, knows. If I wasn't, I would've been dead a long time ago. Sissonville truck drivers Robert Harvey and Brian Jordan, who are doing contractual work with West Virginia Paving on the Corridor G project, face the same dangers everyday.
People are worried about getting to the restaurants, the movies, the shopping malls.
They aren't worried about you. West Virginia Contractors Association members and Department of Transportation Division of Highways officials are doing their part to ease work zone employees' fears. The contractors association designed a road construction sign to grab motorists' attention and the highways division is planning to place them around work zones statewide. The result, both groups hope, will be fewer work zone accidents, injuries and deaths. Two signs will be displayed at each construction site.
