Before the return of yellow school buses and all things pumpkin spice, many people plan summer festivities over Labor Day. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) encourages people to make travel plans now for the popular three-day weekend. Congestion is expected on most major routes. Travelers should also be alert of wildfire activity and road closures affecting travel plans.
Most Highway Construction Paused
Most Washington state highway construction work is suspended through the holiday weekend – including Monday, September 2 – to ease congestion. Please stay alert for new lane shifts or other work zone staging areas that may remain in place. And please give any emergency repair crews plenty of space to work safely.
WSDOT recommends people go early or late and give themselves plenty of extra time. Crashes or emergency road repairs also can add to travel times.
