Construction Zones

Accidents in Construction Zones

Indiana highways, especially the Indiana Toll Road, seem to be under construction year-round. Construction zones are hazardous to car and truck traffic, leading to many accidents each year. They are also hazardous to construction workers who are operating on the edge of some very heavily traveled highways.
