Work zones require extra caution from everyone on the road. In 2024, an estimated 101,000 work zone crashes occurred in the United States, resulting in approximately 42,000 injuries and 850 fatalities, according to the National Safety Council and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
As construction continues along the South Hillsborough Pipeline route, drivers are encouraged to take extra precautions when traveling through active work zones. Slow down and follow posted speed limits, avoid distractions like texting, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and stay alert for lane shifts, construction equipment, signs and flaggers.
A few extra seconds of caution can make a difference. Thank you for your patience as we work to complete the South Hillsborough Pipeline project as safely and efficiently as possible.
