This Labor Day weekend, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will temporarily remove lane restrictions on 60% of road and bridge projects statewide. Beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, 96 of 161 ongoing projects will have restrictions lifted to reduce traffic delays for holiday travelers.
“Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to enjoy the last of our Pure Michigan summer,” said Whitmer. “We’re pulling back construction barrels to ensure safe and smooth travel, but rest assured, we’ll be back to fixing the roads come Tuesday.”
Drivers are reminded of the Mackinac Bridge closure on Labor Day morning for the Annual Bridge Walk, and to drive safely through any remaining work zones.
