Labor Day weekend is here and with it comes an increase of vehicles on the road in Door County. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation crashes from last year’s Labor Day weekend resulted in seven fatalities and over 350 injuries in the state. Peak travel time for the holiday weekend will be from noon to 8 P.M. on both Friday and Monday which is why Chief Deputy of the Door County Sheriff’s Office Patrick McCarty recommends planning accordingly.

McCarty adds that even though construction zones will not be active during the holiday weekend residents should still expect delays in those areas.
