Lansing drivers, brace yourselves—Jolly Road from Cedar Street to Pennsylvania Avenue is shutting down Monday through mid-November for major upgrades. Expect a lane reduction to three, but with new bike lanes added for cyclists. Crews will also replace aging storm drains to fight future flooding, repave the entire stretch, and install fresh pavement markings. Detours are in place, so plan ahead and watch for signs. The work should be done by mid-November—just a temporary headache for smoother roads ahead.
