I-94 Project Construction Update for July 12, 2021

(July 12, 2021 10:39 AM)  During the last few weeks, crews continued building the new westbound I-94 bridge over West Avenue and have demolished the Lansing Avenue bridge over I-94. Additionally, crews continued to place embankment, install drainage structures and storm sewer, and place the open grade drainage course where the new westbound I-94 roadway will be near the US-127/M-50 interchange.

During the coming weeks, the contractor will continue building the new westbound I-94 bridge over I-94, as well as the northern half of the new Lansing Avenue bridge. Additionally, they will continue placing permanent drainage structures and installing underdrain on the new westbound I-94 alignment. The contractor will also continue building the future westbound I-94 pavement section with placement of an open graded drainage course and will be grading in preparation to install more concrete pavement in the coming days.  

Traffic maintenance for this upcoming week will include:

• The northbound US-127/M-50 ramp to westbound I-94 is closed, as well as one lane being closed on northbound US-127/M-50 from Sparks Street to Springport Road.
• The southbound US-127/M-50 ramp to eastbound I-94 is closed with traffic maintained via a temporary ramp using a temporary traffic signal.
• The Cooper Street ramp to westbound I-94 is closed with westbound and eastbound I-94 remaining shifted until late-July with shoulder closures and a reduced speed zone from Airport Road to Elm Avenue.
• Lansing Avenue will remain closed from Royal Drive to Shirley Drive until late fall with traffic detoured.
