Prepare To Take Alternative Route Or Public Transportation
Stacy Stegman, spokesperson for CDOT, says there are a few ways to avoid a long commute on Wednesday. One of those ways she says is planning ahead.
"If people heed the warnings, if they leave work early or travel at other times or take public transportation," Stegman said. "That's going to make it easier on everyone."
