Virginia State Police are expecting traffic to pick up early this afternoon as more people attempt to head to the beaches and other favorite vacation spots for the Memorial Day weekend.
Authorities expect the heaviest traffic mid-afternoon through early evening.
The heaviest travel of the weekend may come late Monday as people return from holiday destinations. Despite higher gas prices, Triple-A estimates that there will be as many people on the roads as last year. Weather could play a role in destinations.
