Overview
- Michigan officials announced Monday, June 29, that lane restrictions will be lifted starting at 3 p.m. Thursday, July 2 and will remain removed until 6 a.m. Monday, July 6.
- The rollback covers roughly 60 percent of active state road and bridge projects, reported as 106 of 179 MDOT projects statewide.
- Some work-zone controls will remain in place, including equipment, temporary lane shifts, shoulder closures and several major active sites, so drivers should expect localized restrictions.
- Officials said the move responds to heavy holiday travel — AAA projects about 2.6 million Michiganders will travel at least 50 miles — and MDOT manages nearly 10,000 miles of state highways that carry the bulk of commercial traffic.
- Drivers should check MDOT’s Mi Drive for the latest project statuses because closures, detours and remaining restrictions can change and normal construction will resume after the holiday.
