Skyfest may delay freeway traffic this weekend

This weekend's Skyfest airshow at Fairchild Air Force Base near the Spokane International Airport is expected to cause delays in traffic on Interstate 90 in the Spokane area and Highway 2.

Law enforcement officials urge motorists to plan ahead for traveling in those areas on Saturday and Sunday.

"Motorists are encouraged to allow plenty of extra travel time," a Washington State Patrol press release states. "Please be prepared for heavy traffic on State Route 2 from I-90 to FAFB throughout the weekend."
