(September 17, 2023 9:01 PM ET) The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will close the ramp from northbound US-127 to westbound I-94 for pavement repairs.

The closure will be in effect from 9 AM to 3 PM Monday, September 18.

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 townships. The I-94 project includes 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.

On Tuesday, MDOT will close the Sandstone Road bridge over I-94 and the Michigan Avenue bridge over I-94 in Jackson for maintenance.

This work is part of the I-94 Jackson project rebuilding nearly 13 miles of I-94 in Jackson, Albion, and Parma in Jackson County.

The Michigan Avenue bridge closure is scheduled to begin at 6 AM Tuesday, September 19 and last until 6 PM Thursday, September 21.

The Sandstone Road bridge closure is scheduled to begin at 6 AM Wednesday, September 20 and last until 6 PM Friday, September 22.
