(June 25, 2021 8:59 AM) The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is closing both directions of I-94 to allow crews to safely demolish the Lansing Avenue bridge. The highway will close at 7 PM Friday, June 25, and reopen at 10 AM Saturday, June 26.
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 replacing the Lansing Avenue bridge over I-94.
TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS:
Eastbound I-94 traffic will be detoured north to US-127 (West Avenue), then east to Parnall Road, south to Cooper Street, and then back to eastbound I-94.
Westbound I-94 traffic will be detoured north to Cooper Street, west to Parnall Road, south to US-127 (West Avenue), and back to westbound I-94. Please follow posted detours. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.
