LANSING, Mich. (WILX)—In preparation for Memorial Day, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that it will remove lane restrictions on 55% of its road and bridge projects on Friday.

AAA says 1.7 million Michiganders will be taking a road trip to get to their destination.

“With the record amount of road and bridge work happening all across the state thanks to increased federal infrastructure investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as well as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Rebuilding Michigan program, it has never been more important for drivers to follow all posted signs and speed limits in work zones,” said State Transportation Director Brad Wieferich. “We understand the frustration construction can cause but we implore all drivers to follow the law, be patient, and help make sure everyone, including themselves, their passengers, and road workers, all make it home each and every night.”

MDOT will remove lane restrictions starting tomorrow at 3 p.m. and reinstate them on Tuesday, May 28 at 6 a.m.

The state provided a full list of work zones that will remain active during the holiday, which can be seen here.
