Lake Welcome Sign Turning Orange

The new Lake of the Ozarks welcome sign is turning orange in recognition of National Work Zone Awareness Week. The Lake-Area Chamber of Commerce will turn the lights on its Hollywood-style sign along Route 54 orange this week to remind motorists to drive safely in work zones. Work Zone Awareness Week, which coincides with the start of the busy highway maintenance and construction season, is designed to alert motorists to the need to slow down, eliminate distractions, and pay attention in work zones.
