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.
Orange barrels are showing up on area roadways now that construction season is underway. Two new construction projects will begin on Monday, April 18th.
