If you're late for work after navigating a particularly nightmarish stretch of road construction in West Michigan, a mayor has stepped up to write you an excused tardy slip to give to your boss.
Sure it will save you time, but will it end up costing you a hefty fine if you're caught cutting through a parking lot in Michigan? Is this time saver is legal?
This is normally the time of year that road construction projects are wrapping up and the orange construction barrels are put into storage until next spring.
One of the next projects to get underway is located in southern Kent and Barry Counties. MDOT will be resurfacing approximately six miles of M-37 from Middleville north to 92nd Street in Caledonia.
