March 9, 2016 -- The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has posted the 2016 Paving the Way state construction map online for motorists to download. In an effort to be an even more environmentally friendly state agency, and to save taxpayer dollars, MDOT is no longer printing the map for distribution. Instead, motorists are 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.

             "Making the yearly construction map available to download leverages technology to help travelers plan ahead," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "Remember to slow down in construction zones and avoid all distractions. Road workers are entrusting their lives with you while they focus on the task at hand. Let's make sure everyone makes it home each and every day during this construction season."

             MDOT reminds motorists that state construction information is always available on the Mi Drive traffic website: www.michigan.gov/drive, as well as the Mi Drive mobile app, available on iTunes and Google Play. The map will also be on display in all rest areas and Welcome Centers as in years past.
