Memorial Day Road Trip: Busiest Roads Revealed

Planning a Memorial Day road trip requires timing to avoid peak traffic. Major highways see the heaviest congestion on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning as families head out for the holiday weekend. Expect delays to double or triple normal travel times during rush hours from Thursday evening through Sunday. Check real-time apps and state DOT sites for updates on construction and incidents. Early departures or late-night drives help beat the crowds on interstates like I-75 and I-94.
