No joke - April is National Safe Digging Month! Before starting any digging project- whether you're planting a tree, installing a fence, or beginning construction, remember to contact MISS DIG 811 to have underground utilities marked. Learn more: missdig811.org

It's important to remember to drive safely in work zones! One careless decision in a work zone can cost someone their life. Road workers are just feet from traffic. They don’t get a second chance if you’re distracted, speeding or not paying attention.

Old Man Winter just doesn't want to give up this season! OCRC crews are out -- make sure you give them plenty of room to operate!

🚦With strong winds in the forecast today, there's a chance some traffic signals may go dark. If you approach an intersection with a disabled signal, treat it as a four-way stop — take turns and proceed with care.

⚠️Strong winds today — if you see a downed tree or live power lines on the road, call 911. Don't report road emergencies via social media or email, especially after hours. Non-emergency requests (M–F, 7am–4pm): 616-842-5400 or ottawacorc.com/service-reques… Stay safe, Ottawa County!

DYK: High winds can make driving dangerous. If driving during windy conditions, slow down and keep two hands on the wheel, avoid large trucks and trailers, and watch for downed tree branches, trees and power lines.

We're Hiring! Assistant District Supervisor – Coopersville Garage Preferred qualifications: 4+ years of road construction/maintenance experience, supervisory experience, Microsoft Office proficiency, and a valid Michigan CDL. Visit ottawacorc.com/jobs/ for more information!

☔Always be careful when approaching any water over the roadway, as you never know how deep the water could be or how fast it could be moving. It's always best to turn around and find an alternative route instead of traveling through the flooded area.

🎮 Happy Mar10 Day! In our version of the game, the obstacles aren’t turtles and mushrooms — they’re cones, barricades, and road work equipment. 🚧 Give our crews some space as they work to keep Ottawa County’s roads in top shape!
