Watch for Work Zones During Holiday Travel

As always on a major holiday weekend, law enforcement will be out in full force over the next several days trying to keep the roadways as safe as possible.  MoDot crews working in summer construction zones will get a bit of a break, though.  Work will be suspended in most work zones through 9am Tuesday.  MoDot says that although workers won’t be out, it may be necessary to maintain some lane closures during the brief respite period, which means motorists may experience some additional delays during what is already sure to be a busy weekend for travel.  You can check the work zones on MoDot’s website.  You’re encouraged to plan your routes accordingly, be patient, allow more drive time, and use additional caution both on the way to, and after you reach, your destination.
