Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has announced they are suspending as much work as possible from 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, until 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept 8.

MDOT will remove traffic restrictions on 114 of 155 active projects statewide. AAA Michigan estimates 1.2 million travelers will be using Michigan roads and bridges during the last summer holiday weekend.

"For many of us, this is our last chance to embrace the waning summer before school starts and autumn takes a colorful hold of the Great Lakes State," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "Remember to remain focused and alert at all times, especially through work zones."

Although no workers will be on site, the following construction zones in Southwest Michigan may still cause slowdowns.

  • L Drive North in Marshall Township, Calhoun County, has one lane open on the bridge over I-69 under temporary signals.
  • Sprinkle Road in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, has one lane open in each direction over I-94.
  • I-94 Business Loop (Columbia Avenue) in Battle Creek, Calhoun County, is closed at I-94 Exit 92 and detoured.
  • I-94 Business Loop (Stadium Drive) in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, has one lane open in each direction at US-131.
  • M-60 in Mendon, St. Joseph County, has a posted detour for westbound traffic.
  • M-139 in Niles, Cass County, is closed over the St. Joseph River with a posted detour.
