Proceeding headlong into a holiday weekend, I think a lot of people will be either getting Friday off from work or taking a vacation day to stretch the weekend, and with traffic volumes already lessened by the economy (sadly, fewer people driving to work), college students sleeping in rather than attend summer classes, and vacations, this week should be uneventful.
Always a good thing for commuters.
Plus, MDOT will be suspending work on about 65% of all road construction in the state over the next weekend.
Here's what's up this week:
US-31: Watch for lane closures at US-31 at STANTON ST (south of Lake Michigan Drive) for upgrades to the intersection. This work will continue until August 20.

Always a good thing for commuters.
Plus, MDOT will be suspending work on about 65% of all road construction in the state over the next weekend.
Here's what's up this week:
I-196 at 32ND AVE: Westbound will be reduced to one lane until 2 p.m. Wednesday (7/1). Expect backups, which on this stretch usually occur after 7:30 a.m. and in the afternoon.
I-196 at COLLEGE AVE: The right lane WESTBOUND will be closed Monday (6/29) 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.. The left lane will be closed WESTBOUND on Tuesday (6/30) 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This scenario has caused traffic to back up to FULLER AVE.
US-131 at 44TH ST: SOUTHBOUND US-131 will be closed at 44TH ST overnight on Wednesday (7/1) and again Monday (7/6) from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. for critical work on the 44TH ST bridge. Traffic will be detoured off US-131 at 36TH ST to DIVISION AVE, then south to 54TH ST to return to US-131.
Since it doesn't make much sense to have a lot of traffic coming on board from 28th Street only to be forced off at the next exit, MDOT will close the ramp from EASTBOUND 28TH ST to SOUTHBOUND US-131 during that time both nights.
The same will be true for the ramp from 36TH ST to SOUTHBOUND US-131.
In both cases, use DIVISION AVE south to 54TH ST to return to US-131.
M-89 from PLAINWELL to ALLEGAN: Road crews will begin chip-and-seal work today (6/29) and will continue until about August 14. This means that flag crews will control flow at the work site, which will move between US-131 and M-40.
Love driving over fresh chip-and-seal.
