U.S. 2 memorials will commemorate deaths
The state Department of Transportation plans to install roadside memorials along U.S. 2 to stop people from driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The memorials are for those who died along the highway since 1999.
This is part of the ongoing U.S. 2 Traffic Safety Corridor project, which started last year to make the highway safer.
People can also work with the state to install memorials for victims killed in other types of crashes along the highway.
