It is difficult to predict how travel times will be affected, so ODOT advises you to plan ahead: map out alternate routes to reach your destinations, and consider leaving your car at home at least one or two days a week by taking the bus, sharing a ride or riding your bike to local destinations. You might also approach your employer about working from home from time to time, or adjusting your schedule so your commute does not occur during peak travel times in the morning and evening.
