SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Memorial Day 2019 is already shaping up to be a record-breaking holiday.
According to AAA, nearly 43 million Americans will be celebrating the holiday with a weekend getaway.
The majority of those travelers aren’t letting the rising gas prices get in the way; more than 37 million people are planning to take a road trip. That’s about 3.5% more than in 2018.
Experts predict delays up to three times longer than a normal commute. They say if you’re able to leave as early as Wednesday, you should.
