The exit ramp from westbound I-94 to Elm Road will be closed for rebuilding. This work is part of MDOT's ongoing $120 million investment to rebuild and widen I-94 near the Airport Road interchange to just west of the east US-127/I-94 interchange in Blackman and Leoni Township. The I-94 project involves upgrading the US-127/M-50 (West Avenue)/I-94 interchange to a diverging diamond interchange, the Elm Road interchange with roundabouts, and the Lansing Avenue bridge over I-94. Start date: 7 a.m. Monday, March 13, 2023 Completion date: 3 p.m. Friday, June 30, 2023 Overall I-94 project completion date: November 2023 Traffic restrictions: This project will require a single-lane closure on westbound I-94 while the traffic shift is in process. Westbound I-94 to Elm Road traffic will be detoured west via I-94 to M-106 (Cooper Street), north to Parnall Road, and east to Elm Road. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.
