  Today, we honor Arnold Lenox, a District 11 Surveyor. On April 19, 1963, Mr. Lenox was killed and his co-workers injured when an errant driver entered the work zone, causing a non-motorized vehicle they were working on to roll over. #RIP 🧡 #MoveOver #BeWorkZoneAlert @CaltransHQ https://t.co/LJCMUBpajo
