MDOT I-94 Construction Update for June 14, 2021

(June 14, 2021 3:44 PM) The Michigan Department of Transportation today issued an I-94 construction update with additional ramp closures.

During the last few weeks, crews continued building the new westbound I-94 bridge over West Avenue. Additionally, crews continued to place embankments and install drainage structures and storm sewers 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 bridge; the new bridge deck will be poured this week. Additionally, the contractor will continue placing permanent drainage structures and installing underdrain on the new westbound I-94 alignment. Work will also continue to build the future westbound I-94 pavement section with the placement of an open-graded drainage course in preparation for installing concrete pavement in the coming weeks.

The following traffic maintenance will be in place this upcoming week:

• 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 and being maintained via a temporary ramp utilizing a temporary traffic signal.
• The Cooper Street ramp to westbound I-94 is closed.
• Westbound and eastbound I-94 will remain shifted until mid- to late July with shoulder closures and a reduced speed zone from Airport Road to Elm Avenue.

Starting in late June, Lansing Avenue will be closed from Royal Drive to Shirley Drive to allow crews to safely rebuild the Lansing Avenue bridge.
