BACKGROUND:
MDOT staff will share project details on the upcoming replacement of the Second Avenue overpass above I-94. This $25.5 million replacement will be the first network tied arch structure in the state of Michigan, and will accommodate motor vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The Second Avenue overpass was originally constructed in 1954 and has never been replaced. This work, part of the I-94 modernization project in Detroit, is underway and is expected to be completed in spring 2021.
The I-94 modernization project will improve safety and mobility by modernizing roughly 7 miles of I-94 between Conner Avenue and I-96. Included in the modernization is utility and bridge replacement, improvements to freeway interchanges, and construction of an additional freeway lane.
