The Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Nevada is proud to announce the launch of its public awareness campaign, "Respect the Cone: My family needs me home," aimed at fostering a culture of safety within roadway and highway construction work zones. The campaign will launch with a press conference on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, at 9:45 a.m. at the U.S. 395 northbound on-ramp at Parr Boulevard. Speakers include Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, Nevada Department of Transportation Director Tracy Larkin Thomason, and Sparks Mayor/RTC Washoe Chair Ed Lawson. Road and highway workers will also be in attendance.
With extensive involvement in road construction projects across Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County, the Nevada Chapter AGC recognizes the critical need to protect roadway and highway workers from the dangers of impaired, distracted, and aggressive driving in work zones.
