Iowa — The Independence Day holiday is going to be a long one with the 4th falling on Thursday, and that could mean a lot more celebrating across the state.
State Patrol Trooper Paul Gardner says they don’t want the celebration to spill over to the highways.
He says a special holiday enforcement effort will start on Wednesday.
Gardner says alcohol and driving can be fatal for you and others.
The special holiday traffic enforcement will run through Sunday, July 7th.
