TRAFFIC IMPACT:
Cutler Road will be closed over I-96. Single-lane closures and traffic shifts will be in effect on I-96 for most of the project.

I-96 is scheduled to close for bridge demolition 10 p.m. Friday, April 26, through 10 a.m. the following Sunday. Ramps within the project limits will be closed and detoured intermittently for resurfacing.
I-96 traffic will be detoured on M-43, M-66 and Grand River Avenue. Cutler Road traffic will be detoured on Grand River Avenue, Peake Road and Monroe Avenue.
SAFETY BENEFITS:
This project will improve the ride quality and extend the service life of the roadway and bridge.
