Michigan Road Work Pauses for Labor Day | Grand Rapids News

Michigan’s hitting pause on 91 of 156 road construction projects this Labor Day weekend, starting Friday afternoon and running through Tuesday morning—though some equipment and temporary setups may linger. Governor Whitmer says the move is to make travel smoother as folks enjoy summer’s last days, noting her administration has already upgraded over 26,000 lane miles and nearly 2,000 bridges. The Mackinac Bridge will briefly close to the public from 6:30 AM to noon on Labor Day, a routine holiday measure. State Transportation Director Bradley Wieferich reminds drivers that work continues into fall thanks to Rebuilding Michigan and federal funding—and urges everyone to stay focused, put phones away, and drive safely so everyone gets home.
