Grand Haven, MI (WGHN) – Construction will wrap up by the end of the day on US-31 and the drawbridge. MDOT says crews are working on clean up and final paint touch. They expect to be finished with lane closures on US-31 and M-104 today. All lanes will be open over the Memorial Day holiday weekend says Marc Frederickson with MDOT.
“We certainly have a role to play with how US-31 operates here and we try to be as mindful as we can and co exist together. You know it’s been a good relationship through the years. We really appreciate everything the city has been able to do and work with us on different projects through here.”
A reminder that Franklyn is now a two way street too and the City of Grand Haven’s social district up and running on Washington Street too.
Nearly two dozen MDOT road projects will suspend construction ahead of the Memorial Day travel. MDOT says they lift as many as many restrictions as they possibly can from 3 p.m. Friday through Tuesday morning.
More than one-point-two million Michigan residents are planning to travel for the Memorial Day holiday this month. Triple-A Michigan says that number is nearly how many traveled for the weekend in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic and up 79-thousand from last year.
One-point-one million will drive and 66-thousand will fly to their destinations. Triple-A says 42-point-three Americans will travel 50 or more miles from home for the holiday.
