DEARBORN (WKZO) — American drivers are cruising into the record books.
The Federal Highway Administration says that in April American motorists logged nearly 270-billion-miles on the road, making it the highest month on record.
AAA says we can expect that trend to continue this 4th of July holiday weekend.
They are anticipating the best numbers for travel that they have seen since 2007.
Spokesperson Heather Hunter says travelers will find lower gas prices but higher prices at motels and hotels.
They expect 42-million Americans will travel 50 miles or more this Independence Day.
We haven’t seen the breakdown for Michigan yet.
