I-94/I-69 interchange work begins Monday in Calhoun County

 

MARSHALL, Mich. - Lane closures are set to begin Monday at the I-94/I-69 interchange as part of the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) ongoing $210 million investment to rebuild I-69 between Island Highway in Charlotte, Eaton County, and I-94 in Marshall, Calhoun County. This work includes building temporary crossovers on I-94, and then will transition into rebuilding both eastbound and westbound I-94 at I-69.

 

County:

Calhoun

 

Highway:

I-94

 

Closest city:

Marshall

 

Start date:

Monday, May 23, 2022

 

Estimated end date:

Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2022

 

Traffic restrictions:

Expect a single-lane closure in each direction of I-94 at I-69. Drivers are advised to see alternate routes. 

 

Jobs numbers: Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support nearly 2,667 jobs.

 

Safety benefit: These improvements will provide increased safety and mobility in this area of I-69, which is a significant local and national trade corridor.

 

Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.
