Ottawa County, MI (WGHN) – A record number of Michiganders are expected to travel this Fourth of July weekend. Triple A projects more than two-point-six-million residents will travel at least 50-miles from home this weekend. The majority are expected to drive, which is expected to cause heavy congestion on the roadways. The busiest travel days are expected to be between Thursday and Sunday. Triple A says that to avoid the heaviest traffic, leave in the early morning on travel days.
Beginning at 3 p.m. Thursday, July 2, and continuing until 6 a.m. Monday, July 6, 106 out of 179 MDOT projects statewide will have lane restrictions removed. While motorists will see suspended operations in most state road work zones for the weekend, drivers are advised that equipment and certain traffic configurations may remain in place, like temporary shifts or shoulder closures.
