This is National Work Zone Awareness Week April 21 -25 and the Tennessee Department of Transportation would like to stress the importance of slowing down in work zones.
113 TDOT employees have died in the line of duty, and many more have been hurt statewide doing their very important and dangerous jobs.
In Knox County along I-640, 113 orange barrels are on display as a memorial for those who have been killed on the job.
TDOT work zones on state highways closed Thursday night at 6 for the Holiday weekend but reopened at 6 am today.
