WSDOT: Plan ahead for your Memorial Day travel

It's Memorial Day weekend, which means Washington's roads, skies, and ferries are packed with people trying to get to their long weekend destination.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is advising travelers to plan ahead for the Memorial Day weekend due to expected high traffic volumes and ongoing construction projects. From May 26 to May 29, WSDOT anticipates significant congestion, particularly on major routes like Interstate 5, Interstate 90, and U.S. 2. To manage traffic flow, construction activities will be paused during the holiday weekend, but some work zones and lane closures will remain in place. WSDOT recommends that drivers check real-time traffic updates, allow extra travel time, and consider alternative routes or modes of transportation to avoid delays. Additionally, travelers are encouraged to ensure their vehicles are in good condition and to practice safe driving habits during the busy holiday period.
