LANSING, MI — The Michigan Department of Transportation is making a kind gesture this week. Beginning at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, and continuing until 6:00 a.m. Monday, July 8, 105 out of 174 projects statewide will have lane restrictions removed.
While motorists will see suspended operations in most MDOT work zones for the weekend, drivers are advised that equipment and certain traffic configurations may remain in place, like temporary shifts or shoulder closures. MDOT says speed restrictions will remain in place within construction zones.
State Transportation Director Brad Wieferich said in a prepared statement: “We’ve pulled back the barrels as much as we can for the holiday weekend, but we couldn’t do it for every project. We thank drivers for continuing to show patience behind the wheel and following all posted speed limits in work zones. Let’s keep it up so everyone, including drivers, their passengers, and road workers, all make it home each and every night.”
