The deadline is coming up soon! FHWA is asking for the best design for the National Memorial to Fallen Highway Workers in Work Zones. This national memorial will pay tribute to the men and women who lost their lives while working on our roads, serving as a lasting symbol of our collective commitment to work zone safety. FHWA is seeking detailed proposals that combine a compelling design vision with a clear, feasible implementation plan. 🗓️ Deadline: October 20, 2026.
