(November 10, 2022 3:28 PM) The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will close US-127/M-50 (West Avenue) at I-94 to shift traffic to the new diverging diamond interchange (DDI) configuration in Jackson.

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 DDI, the Elm Road interchange with roundabouts, and the Lansing Avenue bridge over I-94.
