The holiday weekend ahead is projected to be one of the busiest for Iowa’s highways in many months. Imagine that…! Meredith Mitts, spokeswoman for Triple-A Iowa, says they’re predicting more than 37-million people nationwide will be traveling over the three-day Memorial Day weekend. There’s “pent-up demand” for travel this weekend, with growing confidence as more people are getting vaccinated.

The motor club is also projecting nearly two-and-a-half million Americans will be boarding planes this weekend. That’s nearly six times more than last year.
