(November 12, 2021 11:42 AM) The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will close the US-127/M-50 (West Avenue) ramp to eastbound I-94 in Jackson for rebuilding.

The closure goes into effect at 6 AM on Monday, November 15 and will remain until 6 PM on Friday, November 19.

US-127/M-50 (West Avenue) traffic will be detoured to eastbound Parnall Road then southbound M-106 (Cooper Street) to enter eastbound I-94 at the M-106 (Cooper Street) interchange.

Please follow posted detours. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.

MDOT has completed box culvert installation on Shirley Drive between Springport Road and Clark Street and has reopened the eastbound I-94 exit ramp to M-106 (Cooper Street) following work to build a temporary ramp in that area.

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.
