JEFFERSON CITY – Missouri Senate Leader Robert N. Mayer, R-Dexter, recently participated in a Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) celebration of National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week. As a part of the week’s events, taking place from April 4-8, the Southeast District of MoDOT enlisted the help of area legislators for a Work Zone Awareness Wall of Fame on Flickr.

“These activities help to make people aware of the importance of slowing down and staying attentive when driving through a work zone,” said Sen. Mayer. “I was happy to be a participant, and I applaud these efforts to save lives on our roads and highways.”

Senator Mayer wore an orange “Arrive Alive” shirt as a part of the Southeast Missouri MoDOT District’s Work Zone Awareness Wall of Fame. Photos will be added to the wall throughout the week, which can be found online at:
