GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD)– While some construction projects across the state will be suspended over the busy holiday weekend, many big projects that continue to impact West Michigan travelers will not be suspended.
AAA Michigan expects some 1.2 million Michigan residents will travel for Memorial Day weekend — a two percent increase from last year.
The Michigan Department of Transportation will be suspending work and lifting traffic restrictions at more than half of their projects starting at 3 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Tuesday.
