            - Work to demolish the overpasses will require a full weekend closure starting Friday night.

            - The weekend closure is between Conner Road and I-75.

           

            March 26, 2019 -- Weather permitting, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) contract crews will be demolishing the French Road and Concord Street overpasses starting at 9 p.m. Friday, March 29. The demolitions will require closing I-94 between Conner Road and I-75 for the weekend. All lanes of the freeway are expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, April 1.

 

                        During this closure, westbound through-traffic will be advised to take westbound M-102 (Eight Mile Road) to southbound I-75 and back to westbound I-94. Westbound I-94 will remain open to Conner Road for local access. Eastbound traffic will be detoured north on I-75 to eastbound M-102 and back to eastbound I-94.

 

                        All ramps along eastbound and westbound I-94 will be closed between Conner Road and I-75. In addition, the following ramps will be closed and will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, April 1:

                        - Northbound and southbound I-75 to eastbound I-94, and

                        All surface street ramps will begin closing at 7 p.m.; freeway-to-freeway interchange ramps will begin closing at 8 p.m.
