MDOT halting construction projects to minimize holiday weekend traffic – FULL LIST

The Michigan Department of Transportation is lifting most lane restrictions for the Fourth of July weekend.

More than half of road and bridge projects will be on hold to ease traffic delays for holiday travelers.

MDOT said Fourth of July traffic is expected to hit its highest mark in more than a decade.

Those lane restrictions will be lifted from 3 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Tuesday on 102 of MDOT’s 144 projects across the state.

However, equipment and certain traffic configurations, like temporary shifts, may remain in place, so drivers should stay alert.
