Maryland’s Work Zone Safety Group has launched a search for ways to make highway construction areas safer for workers and motorists, and minimize the potential for incidents such as the March 22 crash on the I-695 Beltway in Baltimore that killed five employees of contractor Concrete General Inc. and one KCI employee working as a state inspector.
“Our highway construction workers need urgent solutions,” said Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller (D) at the June 1 opening meeting of the group, which she is chairing.
