Description: Construction season is upon Metro Detroit and crews are not waiting around to get started. The unofficial state flower — the orange barrel — is going up along I-94 in Wayne County, kicking off a multi-year project dubbed Restore 94. While the ensuing construction delays will be a headache for drivers, there is another eyesore associated with the roadwork: the removal of hundreds of trees.
