May 26, 2021 Atlanta: Traffic makes its way north towards downtown on the connector on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 in Atlanta. AAA forecasts a rebound in travel for Memorial Day, with more than 1.1 million people in Georgia expected to take a trip during the holiday weekend. ThatÕs up about 62% from last year, though still more than 11% below levels seen in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. A similar rebound is forecast nationally. The vast majority of Georgians who will hit the road during the May 27-31 holiday period are expected to travel by car. Nationally, more than 9 in 10 Memorial Day travelers will drive instead of flying or taking other modes of transportation. Congestion on the roads is expected to be heaviest on the afternoons of Thursday, May 27, and Friday, May 28. It could take three times longer than normal to navigate the most congested stretches of highway. The number of people in Georgia taking planes will be more than six times higher than last year, AAA predicted. About 82,000 residents are expected to fly for the holiday, up from roughly 12,000 last year, but still down from 104,000 in 2019. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
