Best and worst times to travel Memorial Day weekend
Fox13 traffic expert Adam Gehrke has best and worst times to travel Memorial Day weekend.
SEATTLE - Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner and as residents begin making travel plans, WSDOT has released their annual travel charts.
Big picture view:
Transportation officials say they anticipate lengthy delays along I-90. They have also mapped other state highways and ferry docks for optimal time frames.
The travel charts are broken down into the following, each with a WSDOT link to various congestion maps depending on time of day and direction:
- I-5 from Lacey to Tacoma
- I-90 from North Bend to Cle Elum
- US 2 between Stevens Pass and Skykomish
- I-5 between the United States-Canada border
WSDOT assesses historical trends for when western Washington roadways reach capacity over the holiday weekend. The hours marked in red indicate that any small incident would cause major traffic backups due to the volume of cars on the road.
To avoid the worst traffic, people are advised to travel during the hours marked in green or yellow.
