The Alabama Department of Transportation expects a higher traffic volume than usual during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. As an added precaution and for the safety of the traveling public and roadside construction workers, there will be no temporary lane closures on Alabama interstates after noon on Friday, May 28 through 11:59 p.m. Monday, May 31.

With COVID-19 restrictions decreasing, AAA officials predict 60 percent more travelers this Memorial Day holiday weekend than last year at the same time. ALDOT encourages drivers to travel safely to their holiday destinations by not exceeding the speed limit, buckling up and eliminating distractions.

ā€œWith increased traffic on the road, itā€™s especially important to allow extra time for travel and extra room between vehicles,ā€ said Allison Green, Drive Safe Alabama coordinator, ALDOT. ā€œIf traffic slows suddenly, you have time to brake without crashing. Aggressively changing lanes will not get you to your destination any faster, and itā€™s a dangerous move that can lead to a crash and ruin holiday fun for you and those around you.ā€
