LANSING, Mich (WLMI)  An estimated 1.1-million Michigan residents are expected to travel during the Memorial Day weekend.  Triple-A says that’s a slight increase over last year. Gas prices are still hovering around $3.74 a gallon, on average.  Be reminded—there will be a beefed-up police presence all over the state this weekend—police are targeting the usual suspects: seatbelt violators and drunk OR aggressive drivers.

There will be fewer orange barrels greeting you on your trip this weekend.  MDOT says it’s suspending about 70% of road construction projects this weekend to give motorists a break.  Most work will resume on Tuesday morning.
