Memorial Day weekend kicks off to a slow start with gridlock traffic
Officials with ALDOT tell FOX 10 News they’re doing everything they can to make this weekend’s commute as smooth and safe as possible.Paul Buzhardt was traveling from Louisiana with his family when he got stuck in downtown Mobile.
“It’s a little bit longer than usual and it’s just a lot of traffic, a lot of accidents,” Buzhardt said. James Gordon, a spokesman for ALDOT, says they didn’t divert big rigs from the Wallace tunnels like they did one time last year. “That worked really well last year during the fourth of July,” Gordon said. “But you know the traffic pattern when you compare Memorial Day to the fourth of July, fourth of July is a lot heavier. So the decision was to not do that.”“You know it’s a holiday weekend, I’m with family, I’m happy to not be at work,” Windle Barnes said who is traveling from Tennessee. “I’m happy to be with family and we’re going to have a great time, so it’s not too bad.
