Holiday Traffic Delays Hit Utah, Arizona, West Virginia

Major traffic delays are expected over the holiday weekend across multiple states due to a combination of construction, increased travel, and emergencies. In Utah, UDOT forecasts up to 50-minute delays on US-6 near Wellington and significant congestion on I-15, with some lane reductions persisting despite most construction being paused. AAA projects over 72 million Americans will be traveling, further intensifying traffic. In West Virginia, Cross Lanes residents are experiencing ongoing traffic congestion as a vital road widening project remains delayed by utility relocation issues. In Arizona, a brush fire triggered by a vehicle accident has led to periodic closures and evacuation alerts along US 60 south of Wickenburg. Authorities urge motorists to plan ahead, avoid peak travel times, and monitor road conditions for safety.
