The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department asks drivers to visit IDriveArkansas.com to find out about highway work sites before traveling during the holidays.
To aid in holiday travel, AHTD has been working to open as many lanes as possible; however, travelers will likely face work zones and possible delays because of increased traffic volume.
The AAA predicts 98.6 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home. To help motorists find ways around accidents and work zone backups on Interstates, AHTD has added an Alternate Routes feature to IDriveArkansas.com, which illustrates linkages between the interstate corridors and secondary routes that motorists may consider when travel is delayed.
