Since 1946, 131 MoDOT employees have died while working on the roadside, in shops and sheds or as a result of a crash while on department business. This number only accounts for a part of the total since accurate records are not available before that time.
On Sept. 19, we will honor our fallen colleagues on the first Day of Remembrance at 1:31 p.m. Central Office will hold a ceremony at the Fallen Workers Memorial and districts will honor these individuals in various ways across the state.
This tribute is an opportunity for us to remember the sacrifice made by these employees. It is also a time to reaffirm our own personal commitment to safety so that we all make it home safely.
Please join me in honoring these men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for Missouri’s transportation system.
