As drivers make plans for Labor Day travel, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has announced no construction closures will be scheduled along state highways over the extended holiday weekend.
To help with travel conditions, ADOT and its contractors will not set any full highway closures from Friday afternoon, August 30, to Tuesday morning, September 3. That includes restrictions for Phoenix-area freeway projects.
While no highway closures are scheduled, drivers should expect the unexpected, which could include stopped traffic due to disabled vehicles, crashes or events such as wildfires. Delays certainly are possible over the holiday weekend due to heavy traffic during peak travel times, including Friday and Monday afternoons.
Drivers should be prepared to slow down, allow extra time and use caution when approaching and traveling through existing work zones. These include ADOT’s State Route 89A rockfall mitigation project between Flagstaff and Sedona, where traffic is alternating one direction at a time at the Oak Creek Canyon switchbacks.
Since travel delays over the weekend are possible, don’t forget other important items such as prescription medicines. A hat, sunglasses and umbrella – to help with rain or provide shade – also are good items to remember during the summer travel season.
