The Aurora Police Department will be conducting a DUI checkpoint tonight on East Alameda Avenue.

The checkpoint will be set up from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. as part of the DUI Checkpoint Colorado program, which began Memorial Day weekend.

“This is part of our continuing commitment to the statewide effort to combat drunk drivers and reduce alcohol related traffic accidents and fatalities,” the Aurora Police Department said in a statement.

Minor traffic interruptions are expected near the checkpoint.

Drivers entering the checkpoint are asked to roll down their window to help communication between the officer for quicker screening and a shorter delay overall.

The checkpoint is funded by a grant from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration in partnership with the “Heat is On” campaign run by the Colorado Department of Transportation.
