The top transportation official in Massachusetts is urging people who have travel plans for Thanksgiving to “bring your patience.”
Massachusetts Transportation Secretary Frank DePaola said the heaviest traffic is expected Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. He advised people to leave for their holiday destinations early in the morning, or after 8 p.m. to avoid rush hour commuters. He said highway crews are ready for the predicted Wednesday snowstorm.
" We will pretreat the roads before the storm begins. We will have our equipment stay with it until the storm abates," said DePaola during a news conference Monday. " We will make sure the roads are kep passable and safe for people to use."
MassDot will suspend all highway construction projects until Monday.
