It's summer in Michigan! That, of course, means a lot of orange barrels and road closings. This weekend we have two separate closings that will take place on eastbound I-196.
Will you be traveling this Memorial Day weekend? If so, you will not be alone! AAA predicts that 1.2 million people from Michigan will travel 50 miles or more away from home this weekend. That number would be a 2.5% increase from the 2016 Memorial Day holiday and would be the 5th straight year of growth for Memorial Day travel.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) plans to remove lane
The Michigan Department of Transportation released a map of their 2017 road projects today.
If you normally head north on the weekends, it could be a slow go from Grand Rapids up to almost Big Rapids. Three different projects will take place on US-131 beginning in March.
