(December 22, 2021 7:35 AM) On Thursday, The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be reopening the Lansing Avenue bridge over I-94 in Jackson County.

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 rebuilding the Lansing Avenue bridge over I-94.  

Lansing Avenue has been closed since June 22, 2021 to accommodate the bridge construction.

The overall I-94 project completion date is June 2023.

These improvements will provide increased safety and mobility in this area of I-94, which is a significant state, national, and international trade corridor.
