Lanes on the bay side of M-72/M-22 have been rebuilt and crews will soon shift to the next phase of the $25.8 million Traverse City area project. Once new markings are applied, traffic will be shifted to the newly paved lanes and work will begin on the inland side of the highway. That should occur this week, weather permitting, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Up next is the demolition of the southbound lanes north of the M-72/M-22 intersection.

Michiganders who travel on I-96 in Oakland County will notice a change in the highway entrance system in the near future. Ramp metering is set to begin Wednesday morning, June 18, at a handful of locations along the I-96 Flex Route between Novi Road and Milford Road. By using traffic lights on the entrance ramps, the system breaks up platoons of vehicles entering highway traffic and reduces the need for drivers already on I-96 to slow down.

An “extremely black” and eerily quiet object was seen emitting a bright light from the Grand Rapids sky this spring before disappearing from sight. The West Michigan resident who spotted the unknown flying “patch of black” shortly before midnight April 9, said it set their dog off barking aggressively.

A stretch of I-75 in Wayne County will be shut down for the upcoming weekend. Crews will close the northbound highway between Schaefer Road and I-96 beginning around 9 p.m. Friday, June 13. Lanes are expected to reopen around 5 a.m. Monday, June 16. The closure will allow crews to safely add an epoxy overlay, which is a protective surface for the bridge that was replaced in 2017-2018. Drivers coming from Monroe County will be detoured using I-275 and I-94.

How?! Can’t imagine the NHL can allow that to go unpenalized and claim to care about player safety. Reckless.
Not expecting any supplemental discipline for #Canes Jalen Chatfield from @NHLPlayerSafety for his takedown of #allcaps Connor McMichael during their fight on Wednesday night.
