It's summer in Michigan! That, of course, means a lot of orange barrels and road closings. This weekend we have two separate closings that will take place on eastbound I-196.
You know it's a serious heatwave when it's so hot that it buckles the pavement on a highway. Last Friday, that's exactly what happened on I-196 near Hudsonville.
I-196 rose as much as ten inches because of the heat.
It was hot enough to buckle the highway, but was it hot enought to fry an egg on I-196?
