Labor Day weekend is upon us — as is the travel traffic on Georgia’s roads and at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Although projections are roughly on par with last year ’s, passengers can still expect some road delays and airport congestion.

At the airport, more than 2.3 million passengers are projected to travel between Wednesday and Sept. 3.

Saturday is forecast to be the busiest, with nearly 325,000 passengers.

On the roads, the Georgia Department of Transportation is expecting the heaviest interstate traffic on Friday and Saturday of the holiday weekend.

Lighter-than-usual road traffic is expected Sunda
