(May 26, 2022 4:46 PM) Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that major road repair projects, lane closures and road detours are expected to begin next week across the state. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) projects include I-94 ramp work in Jackson.

Eastbound I-94 ramp to US-127/M-50 (West Avenue) closed in Jackson starting May 31.  MDOT will close the eastbound I-94 ramp to US-127/M-50 (West Avenue) in Jackson for ramp rebuilding.  

Eastbound I-94 traffic heading for US-127/M-50 (West Avenue) will be detoured to continue on eastbound I-94 to the M-106 (Cooper Street) interchange, then westbound I-94 back to US127/M-50 (West Avenue). Please follow posted detours. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.

The start date of this closure is Tuesday, May 31 with completion scheduled for June 27.

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. Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to support nearly 1,524 jobs.
