Area residents can expect plenty of traffic throughout this holiday weekend.  Thousands of travelers will make their way through our region on major arteries Route 88, 17 and 88.  While a lot of traffic will be local more will be from those passing through.

The Oakdale Mall and Town Square Mall are usually busy as the official holiday shopping season is ushered in and people are out looking for bargains.

Most of the construction and renovation work on New York State highways comes to a stop through early November 30.  DOT officicials do what they can to facilitate travel throughout the state over the holiday.

New York State Police and other law enforcement agencies say they will step up patrols and increase sobriety check points as they look to keep roadways as safe as possible.
