Restrictions include road and bridge projects statewide.
106 out of 179 MDOT projects statewide will have lane restrictions removed.
For the Fourth of July weekend AAA estimates more than 2.6 million Michiganders will travel at least 50 miles or more from home.
Adjustments are aimed to keep traffic moving smoothly for the busy travel weekend.
While drivers will see suspended operations in most road work zone, equipment and certain temporary traffic shifts or shoulder closures may remain.
“As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday this Fourth of July, we want every Michigander to get where they’re going safely and with fewer delays,” said Governor Whitmer. “That’s why we’re temporarily lifting lane restrictions and removing orange barrels along key routes across the state. But once the holiday weekend ends, we’ll get right back to work fixing the damn roads.”
Here is a list of work zones and their status for the Fourth of July weekend.
Some routes may have detour routes posted at the project location.
All closures are subject to change.
