It’s Construction Season: Lansing & Jackson Traffic Trouble

Folks say we have only two seasons in Michigan. Winter and CONSTRUCTION.

Here's the latest road construction updates for Lansing and Jackson that might cause you some headaches in the following couple of days as we head towards the 4th of July.

Avoid these areas if you can and seek alternate routes. Especially for your morning commute.

LANSING

Traffic will be reduced to one lane going north and southbound on S. Pennsylvania Ave. between E. Cavanaugh Rd. and E. Mt. Hope Rd. starting on Tuesday, June 25.

Crews with the Lansing Board of Water & Light will be replacing new transmission poles.

The work is expected to be finished by Friday, June 28.

All lanes will be re-opened each night from 5 pm to 8 am. (WILX & MDOT)

JACKSON

Starting today (Tuesday, June 25th), the Michigan Department of Transportation is closing the westbound I-94 entrance and exit ramps to Cooper Street for construction work at 7 a.m.

The new Cooper Street bridge will be redesigned and will include new roundabouts on each side of the interstate.

The Cooper Street interchange is expected to reopen Nov. 15.
