Any road construction areas in Michigan to watch out for/avoid once we get into Michigan from Ohio?

If you're coming up from Ohio, don't take I-75 North all the way into Detroit. It's under construction and tore up and goes down to 1 lane. Take I-75 North to 275 North. You can take 275 North to 696 East and get off at Woodward. It's maybe 10 miles out of the way, but it's a much nicer drive, better roads, less traffic, better scenery.

I-280 in Toledo is under construction. It wasn't fun driving during the Power Tour.

I'm leaving for Woodward on Friday AM

I was out last night enjoying the weather and scenery. I got out late though. My APS Turbo kit showed up so I was a little distracted. Will be out tonight again if it does not rain. Otherwise tomorrow for sure.

Kinda overcast and sprinkling now and then.

Cops are being real dicks, so I wouldn't give them any reason to pull you over.
