As the time of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 is rapidly approaching and with the probability good for weather conditions favorable for viewing, residents can expect to see an increase in traffic on our roadways throughout the weekend and into next week. No significant changes to travel patterns or road closures to any of the major roadways outside of the municipal limits are planned, but travelers should allow some extra driving time due to any unexpected delays.
