The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has released the 2017 Paving the Way state construction map online for motorists to download.The public is encouraged to download the map and print it at home or at their nearest library or print service provider. The map is available at www.michigan.gov/mdotmaps, and will also be on display in all rest areas and Welcome Centers across the state.
“Using current technology to make our yearly construction map available to download is a great service to travelers planning ahead,” said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. “We want motorists to remember to slow down in construction zones and avoid all distractions. While you’re trusting workers to improve the roads, they’re trusting you with their lives to drive safely and responsibly in their work area. We want everyone to make it home each and every night.”
