With near-record holiday travel predicted for this Memorial Day weekend, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is removing lane restrictions on nearly 60 percent of its road and bridge projects statewide to ease traffic delays for holiday travelers.
Beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, May 23, and continuing until 6 a.m. Tuesday, May 27, 92 out of 158 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.
The following list of work zones will remain active or have lane restrictions during Memorial Day weekend. If necessary, detour routes will be posted at the project location.
- I-69 in St. Clair County has one lane open in each direction at Allen Road. Allen Road is closed at I-69.
- I-94/I-69 BL (Pine Grove Avenue) in Port Huron, St. Clair County has one lane open in each direction from Elmwood Street to Stone Street.
- M-19 in Sanilac County has one lane open at Spring Creek Lane in Peck with temporary signals.
