Phoenix Car Accidents: Watch for Holiday Construction
As Chandler car accident lawyers, we are happy to report that most highways in the area are free of major construction during the holidays, according to a news report in Fox 10. That means drivers don’t have the additional task of watching out for construction zones, as well as negotiating holiday traffic and other risks. However, there will still be some construction on other roads, and if bad weather hits, there will be other restrictions. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season free of car accidents.
