Hey Oakland County residents! If you’ve gotten used to all the road works spreading across our neighborhoods, you’re in for a pleasant surprise this Labor Day weekend. Yup, you’ve got it! Most of the road projects will be hitting the pause button at 3 p.m. Friday, right ahead of the long weekend.
Don’t start celebrating just yet, though! The construction crews will be back full swing from 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3.
But why the break, you ask? Well, “Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year”, says Dennis Kolar, the managing director of the Road Commission for Oakland County. The reason for the pause is as simple as it sounds – to lessen traffic congestion and ensure safer, smoother holiday travel for us all. Now, that’s thoughtful, ain’t it?
But wait, there’s more! The commission is also giving a break to most heavy earth-moving equipment and other large contractor equipment movement on county roads. This again aims at making your drive smoother and safer this weekend.
