Lenawee County, MI – Are you or someone you know traveling into or out of Lenawee County this weekend? The Michigan Department of Transportation is trying to make it easier for drivers by limiting lane restrictions.
MDOT is removing lane restrictions on state road and bridge projects as much as possible for the Labor Day holiday weekend to ease traffic delays for travelers.
AAA forecast summer travel to be down 15 percent this year, vehicles were expected to make up 97 percent of the favored mode of transportation. AAA has also predicted car trips will have the smallest drop in year-to-year traffic volumes for the summer, at only 3 percent.
Beginning this afternoon and continuing until Tuesday, September 8th, 144 out of 200 projects statewide will have lane restrictions removed.
