Expect heavy Electric Forest traffic Monday

ROTHBURY — As the four-day Electric Forest Festival wraps up late Sunday night, June 25, attendees will begin making their way home from the Double JJ Resort Monday, June 26.

The Michigan State Police is reminding motorists to be careful.

“Avoid the area if at all possible,” said Michigan State Police Lt. John Forner of the Monday morning mass exodus. However, if you can’t avoid it, “be careful; drive alert; and be patient. 

“There will be thousands and thousands of people that we will push out. The big push probably won’t happen until around 10 a.m. or noon. So, hopefully those Monday morning commuters to work will have a decent roadway to get through. Basically, by 10 a.m. Monday, try to avoid the area but be patient if you have to go through.”

The Michigan State Police are under a contract with Electric Forest Festival to provide public safety for the event, and troopers from all over the State of Michigan are on site.
