Southbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway) weekend closures for bridge work at Wyoming Avenue start each Friday morning in Detroit

 

COUNTY:

Wayne

 

ROADWAY:

Southbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway)

 

FIRST WEEKEND CLOSURE:

Starts 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 16, 2019

Ends 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19, 2019

 

SECOND WEEKEND CLOSURE:

Starts 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 23, 2019

Ends 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 26, 2019

 

TRAFFIC DETAILS:

The Michigan Department of Transportation is closing southbound M-10 at Wyoming Avenue, south of McNichols Road in Detroit, for work on the Wyoming Avenue bridge over the freeway. This bridge has been previously hit by a high-load vehicle and repairs need to be made to the beams. Work will occur over two weekends. Since this work will require more time than a normal weekend closure, both closures will begin at 10 a.m. each Friday and will reopen by 5 a.m. the following Monday.

 

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS:    

Lane closures will begin near 7 Mile Road on southbound M-10 to direct all three lanes of traffic to the Wyoming Avenue exit. Drivers will be able to cross Wyoming Avenue and re-enter southbound M-10. Drivers are advised to be prepared for backups.

SAFETY BENEFITS:

MDOT understands the impact this type of major work has on motorists, especially closing on a weekday, and works as quickly and as safely as possible to get the job done. This work will provide a safer bridge for drivers.
