Commissioner Al Dyer, who serves as the liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised motorists to "plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations." He also emphasized caution for those traveling through construction zones: "Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris."
