I believe that the correct word to use is FROM; but coworker disagrees and says "FOR".
"The stop was in effect FOR 1:00PM until 3:00PM due to........"
"The stop was in effect FROM 1:00PM until 3:00PM due to........"
Which one is correct; and if so, can you cite sources? Are they both correct? Neither? I was unable to find anything online.
Oh, what it is worth, the original sentence example we were told to use several years ago used the word "from", but coworker, again, insists that is grammatically incorrect!
Thanks for your assistance.

The stop was in effect for 5 hours.
The stop was in effect from 00.00 am to 00.00 pm.
