LITTLE ROCK (11-16) – The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) reminds drivers to “know
before you go” and visit IDriveArkansas.com before traveling during the holiday season.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend you stay home as much as possible during the
Coronavirus pandemic, but if you choose to travel there are several things to consider before you go. Please
visit the CDC’s webpage on Travel in the US for their official guidance. If you do decide to travel during the
Thanksgiving Holiday (Nov 25 – Nov 29), ARDOT wishes you and your family a safe trip.

Extensive highway improvements continue throughout the state; with those improvements come work
zones. To aid in your holiday travel, ARDOT has been working hard to open as many lanes as possible. Still,
travelers will likely face work zones and possible delays due to increased traffic volume.

Traffic will be controlled by traffic cones and signage. Drivers should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel information can be found at IDriveArkansas.com or ARDOT.gov. You can also follow us on Twitter @myARDOT.
