The solar eclipse is this Saturday, brace yourself for heavy traffic

Unlike the popular Netflix movie "Don't Look Up," you should... but with eye protectors of course.

The solar eclipse on Saturday, October 14, 2023, is expected to draw visitors from all over the world to Colorado. While the path of totality will only pass through the southwestern corner of the state, many people will travel to Colorado to see at least a partial eclipse.

According to KDVR, these highways are expected to be hell for travelers:

  • U.S. Highway 160
  • U.S. Highway 491
  • Colorado Highway 184

“The partial eclipse starts at around 9:11 a.m. MST and will end around 12:04 p.m. In southwest Colorado, maximum annularity — which is the greatest coverage of the sun by the moon — will happen around 10:33 a.m,” says the outlet.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is warning travelers to be prepared for heavy traffic, especially on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoon after the eclipse. CDOT is also asking drivers to pay attention to vehicles slowing down or pulling over due to the eclipse.

Here are some tips for traveling to Colorado to see the eclipse:

  • Plan your trip ahead of time and make reservations for lodging and camping.
  • Be prepared for heavy traffic and allow extra time for travel.
  • Check the CDOT website for real-time traffic updates.
  • Pay attention to vehicles slowing down or pulling over due to the eclipse.
  • Bring plenty of food, water, and sunscreen.
  • Wear eye protection to safely view the eclipse.

Here are some tips for staying safe during the eclipse:

  • Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection.
  • Use eclipse glasses or a solar filter to safely view the eclipse.
  • Be aware of the dangers of heat exhaustion and dehydration.
  • Take breaks in the shade and drink plenty of fluids.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and watch out for other people who may be distracted by the eclipse.
