As Labor Day approaches, many government agencies and buildings, including mail services, will be closed on Monday for the national holiday. While most businesses and restaurants will remain open, some may operate with adjusted hours. Residents are encouraged to check company websites for Labor Day schedules.
Denver International Airport and emergency services will remain open, but banks, schools, libraries, post offices, and financial markets will be closed. County parks, state parks, campgrounds, and boat ramps will be open for visitors to enjoy. Parking in the City of Denver will be free on Sunday and Labor Day, with public transit operating on a holiday schedule.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be suspending all construction projects over the holiday weekend to alleviate traffic congestion. Drivers are urged to drive cautiously through construction zones and follow posted signs for safety. CDOT Safety Patrol vehicles will be stationed along major highways to assist drivers and keep traffic flowing smoothly.
Over the years, traffic during Labor Day weekend has increased significantly, with over 186,000 drivers passing through the Eisenhower/Johnson Memorial Tunnels in 2023. Drivers can stay informed about road conditions by visiting cotrip.org for the latest updates.
