Drivers Urged to Plan for Heavy Weekend Traffic

(Indianapolis, IN) - Hoosier drivers are being warned about increased traffic expected during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

 

AAA predicts at least 45 million people will travel in the U.S. during that period of time with more than 960.000 of them from Indiana.  Drivers are urged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and prioritize safety.

 

Beginning at noon on Friday, the Indiana Department of Transportation will lift existing road closures and restrictions on state highways and other major thoroughfares.


“With construction and maintenance season in full swing, INDOT is doing what we can in terms of alleviating congestion where possible,” said INDOT Commissioner Lyndsay Quist.

 

“In addition to planning ahead, remember to buckle up, put the phone down, follow posted construction signs and speed limits, and don’t drive impaired. We want everyone to stay safe this holiday weekend,” she said.
