AAA is predicting nearly one and a half million Michiganders will travel more than 50 miles during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday weekend.
AAA-Michigan spokeswoman Susan Hiltz credits various factors, including an extra-long holiday weekend this year.
“The last time we had travel volume this big was about 15 years ago,” says Hiltz, “So it’s definitely big news for our state and great news for the travel industry.”
But Hiltz cautions more people traveling means Michigan’s highways will be bulging during the Independence Day holiday weekend.
