COLORADO SPRINGS — Labor Day Weekend is always a busy one and if you plan on driving this holiday weekend, expect things to be a bit packed on the roads.

According to Cars.com, 80% of people plan on driving to their destinations this weekend.

AAA is predicting this to be a busy travel weekend as we bounce back from the pandemic. Make sure you give yourself time and leave early.
