Yavapai County residents will have an easier time driving around the state over the Labor Day Weekend as ADOT announced no construction closures will take place along state highways.
To help with travel conditions, ADOT and its contractors will not set any full highway closures from Friday afternoon to next Tuesday morning.
Last year, 15 fatal vehicle crashes that claimed 18 lives occurred on all roadways, including local streets, over Labor Day weekend. Six of the fatalities involved alcohol-related crashes, according to law enforcement reports. A total of 13 people died in crashes over Labor Day weekend in 2022.
Delays are possible over the holiday weekend due to heavy traffic during peak travel times, including Friday and Monday afternoons.
