After three straight years of decline, work zone crashes on the New York State Thruway surged in 2025 to their highest level since 2020, with 228 crashes leading to 28 injuries. Last year, a state Department of Transportation maintenance worker was killed while working along the road. Unfortunately, the Thruway family knows that pain as well when we lost two workers in 2024.

Highway construction season has started and that means two things: more men and women will be working inches away........
