I-94 In Detroit To Close This Weekend For Bridge Work

DETROIT, MI — Heads up, motorists, a main thoroughfare will be closed down this weekend as crews complete bridge work and other projects along the highway.

Beginning Friday evening, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will close eastbound and westbound I-94 between US-12 (Michigan Avenue) and I-96. This weekend closure will allow work at multiple locations, including a railroad bridge near Livernois Road, concrete form removal near Warren Avenue, and steel repairs on the 24th Street bridge.

This work is weather dependent and may be cancelled and rescheduled, MDOT officials said.

By closing the entire freeway to perform work at multiple locations, this will provide work crews with safer work zones and help them complete the work in a faster and safer manner, they added.
