Drivers are advised to stay tuned to local news stations for updates and to check live traffic reports before heading out.
Stay Safe & Be Patient
Residents are reminded to exercise caution, remain calm, and allow emergency crews to do their jobs. Authorities stress that reckless driving or attempting to bypass detours will only add to the chaos.
