Spring, Construction, Fall, Winter. I’m not sure if Winter or Construction is worse. For now, I’m going to have to go with construction. Luckily, MDOT is suspending construction around the holiday to help lighten traffic backups. They are lifting traffic restrictions on 118 of 162 projects statewide. Beginning at 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, and continuing until 6 a.m. Monday, July 8, MDOT will suspend construction wherever possible on state roads and bridges.
