By early this afternoon, cars full of travelers packed I-94, as well as this rest stop near Menomonie.

“We're going to Eden Prairie, Minnesota to visit our daughter and son-in-law and our five-year-old granddaughter,” Margo Serlin.

Even though AAA expects travel to be up his couple from Illinois says the drive hasn't been too bad.

“It's been pretty easy, but I’ve noticed a lot of police cars out stopping people, making sure people are travelling at good speeds,” says Serlin.

Lt. Jeff Lorentz from the Wisconsin State Patrol says his crews are heading out in full force and partnering with sheriff's departments on one of the busiest traffic weekends.

“We have lasers out there, and an airplane and a motorcycle and about anything else we can put out there anticipating the heavy traffic today,” says Lorentz.

Lorentz says he hopes no one will drink and drive this weekend, and therefore keep everyone safe.

“Last year we had six lives lost over labor day and we're hoping as always our goal is zero,” says Lorentz.

And while the weather hasn't been awful for driving, travelers we spoke to say they hope it warms up and clears up for their weekend plans.

“We're hoping to go to the renaissance faire to ride a camel with our granddaughter,” says Serlin. “I hope the weather turns out a lot nicer!”

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says you can expect lane restrictions on I-94 south of Milwaukee and east of Madison and also on Highway 53 near Rice Lake. But, construction work will be stopped until Tuesday morning.

State troopers say they'll also be enforcing seatbelt laws, and remind you to buckle up.
