Bad weather may also cause some road closures. The state Department of Transportation is reminding motorists to drive with caution over the Christmas and New Year's weekends. Officials said 15 people died in crashes on highways and local streets during last year's holiday season. The transportation department said gambling cars may appear on weekends and around the end of holidays. Drivers should get enough rest and sobriety before driving long distances, and check your car before traveling.
