In this video: Thanksgiving is upon us, and so is Thanksgiving travel, with record of holiday travelers expected in the air, and on the roads. A New York service plaza reopens in time for the holiday, and we visit a historic Thanksgiving for the PA Turnpike in our weekly trivia. Danny Pryor reports for Turnpikes.com.
Full description: About 73-million people are expected to drive at least 50 miles from home for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and we break down all the predictions from the American Automobile Association, including the worst travel times. The Modena Service Plaza on the NYS Thruway has reopened in time for holiday travelers, bringing an end to a four-year rebuilding project for all thruway plazas. Extra patrols will be on Oklahoma's toll roads this holiday; we'll tell you about the high accident rate that precipitated that decision. And we take a look at Thanksgiving past in Pennsylvania, where a 2004 strike gave everyone a holiday gift!
