ADOT Says Allow Extra Time for Holiday Travel

The Arizona Department of Transporation advises everyone who plans to travel over the Memorial Day weekend to keep existing highway work zones in mind. Even when projects are shut down for the holiday, there are work zones with lane closures that will affect traffic. Be sure to allow extra travel time and consider traveling in non-peak hours—especially earlier in the day before traffic builds up.

Before heading out on the road, call 5-1-1 for travel conditions or visit www.az511.gov.

One of the work zone locations to be aware of is State Route 260 east of Payson where there are widening projects. If you’re traveling to the Rim Country over the Memorial day weekend be prepared for slower traffic at times.
