As Labor Day approaches, the North Carolina Department of Transportation is making sure drivers across the state reach their destinations safely and efficiently.

To help ease travel over the holiday weekend, NCDOT is halting most construction projects along interstates and U.S. routes between Friday morning and Tuesday evening..

Before traveling, visit DriveNC.gov for the most up to date traffic information.

Additionally, the North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program announced the launch of the statewide Labor Day “Booze It & Lose It” campaign.

The annual campaign brings awareness to the dangers associated with driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol.

Local and state law enforcement will conduct enhanced patrols from now until Sept. 8 to keep impaired drivers off the road.
