The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will shift eastbound I-94 traffic from Lansing Avenue to Elm Avenue to accommodate lane reconstruction. This work is part of the ongoing I-94 Corridor Project.
Crews will begin to shift traffic on the eastbound lanes as weather and traffic patterns allow through Thursday, Sept. 12. The M-50 (West Avenue) ramp to eastbound I-94 will be closed and detoured during this traffic shift. Eastbound drivers planning to exit at Elm Avenue will be directed to remain in the right lane. Delays are expected – an alternate route is advised.
For motorists headed eastbound on I-94 from West Avenue (across from Jackson Crossing), the entrance ramp will be closed. The suggested detour: Take US-127 North to Parnall Road exit, drive East to Elm Rd I-94 interchange.
The traffic shift is scheduled to begin at 8 PM on Wednesday, September 4 and continue through Thursday, September 12.
