Holiday road travel has the potential to make you want to tear your eyeballs out normally. But 2018’s Memorial Day Weekend could be especially terrible traffic wise, thanks to a potent combination of more travelers and more road construction.

The Ohio Department of Transportation said in a press release that nearly 1.5 million Ohioans are set to travel this weekend. At the same time, the department also admits that this is a near-record year for road construction state-wide, with $2.35 billion being pumped into nearly 1,000 projects.

Naturally, Ohio is not alone in its travel trajectory. AAA reports that more motorist are estimated to travel this weekend than in the last 12 years prior. Meaning those Ohioians looking to head to the Carolinas or even Florida, fave vacation spots for the Buckeye state, could be in for some incredibly long wait times.

As far as Ohio goes, expect big traffic delays outside of every major city, including on I-271 in Cleveland and Akron’s I-76, which both have some gnarly construction.

In general, we recommend leaving as early as possible and creating an awesome playlist for the trip.

  1. Be sure to watch the chemical spraying jets in every direction leaving white trails that turn into artificial cloud cover. They are everywhere lately, always spraying. I even see them at night.

  3. And just like that, any adult conversation about the new skies we have full of straight lines and “condensation” clouds gets shut down as conspiracy theory. There are patents owned by the US government for stratospheric aerosol injections of chemicals sprayed from ports under the wings of tanker jets and before that in the fuel systems of commerical airliners. It’s clear that these are not passenger planes flying all over up and down criss crossing one another now. You can literally see one every time you look up. None of these planes show up on flight radar and the local FAA inspectors are antagonistic when questioned about these planes or their purpose.
    Modern planes do not have contrails. If you see a plane with any white trail, it is spraying. The white condensation clouds are chemicals.
    You’ve been warned multiple times. This is not a theory. You’re being sprayed right now.

  5. See US Patents 5003186 referring to dispensing chemicals from commercial airliners in 90’s. Refer to US Patent 0314496 where they enhanced the chemical delivery system. There areany many more relating to the conspiracy program.

  6. I saw a few of those chemical jets today. Like the guy says, they just appear out of nowhere with a thick white trail that they turn on and off.

  7. Weather conditions still have a lot to do with whether or not there are contrails and vapor trails. Same as in the past. They are known to increase the percentage of cloudiness and overcast skies. Proximity to Lake Erie is also a factor.

    And we are also directly under the extremely busy and heavily-trafficked New York-Chicago air corridor, as well as being under the flight paths of planes going into and out of a very large nearby regional and international hub. Perhaps you have heard of it. It is more commonly known as “Detroit”…
