Revive275 project: 6 Mile Road bridge over I-275 closing for improvements for a month in Wayne County

 

LIVONIA, Mich. ­- As part of the I-275 reconstruction project, the 6 Mile Road bridge over I-275 will close for approximately one month for epoxy overlay, barrier wall repair and work on the approaches.  

Beginning at 6 a.m. Monday, July 24, the 6 Mile Road bridge will be closed between the entrance and exit ramps with I-275. 

Detours:

I-275:

• Northbound I-275 traffic will be able to exit to eastbound 6 Mile Road but access to westbound 6 Mile Road will be blocked. The detour for westbound 6 Mile Road is westbound 7 Mile Road to southbound Haggerty Road to westbound 6 Mile Road. An alternative is to take eastbound 6 Mile Road to northbound Newburgh Road, then westbound 7 Mile Road to southbound I-275 to reach westbound 6 Mile Road.
• Southbound I-275 traffic will be able to exit to westbound 6 Mile Road but access to eastbound 6 Mile Road will be blocked. The detour for eastbound 6 Mile Road is northbound Haggerty Road to eastbound 7 Mile Road, then southbound Newburgh Road to eastbound 6 Mile Road. 

6 Mile Road:

• Eastbound 6 Mile Road traffic will take northbound Haggerty Road to eastbound 7 Mile Road, then southbound Newburgh Road to 6 Mile Road. 

• Westbound 6 Mile Road traffic will take northbound Newburgh Road to westbound 7 Mile Road, then either southbound I-275 to westbound 6 Mile Road or southbound Haggerty Road to 6 Mile Road. 

Upcoming ramp changes for late July/early August:

• The westbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) ramp to northbound I-275 will close July 26.
• The eastbound M-153 (Ford Road) ramp to northbound I-275 will reopen July 27.
• The eastbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) to northbound I-275 will close July 27.
• The northbound I-275 exit to Ecorse Road will reopen July 28.
• The northbound I-275 exit to US-12 (Michigan Avenue) will close July 28 (after Ecorse Road reopens).
• The northbound I-275 exit to Ann Arbor Road will close July 31.
• The eastbound and westbound Ann Arbor Road ramps to northbound I-275 will close Aug. 7. 

The eastbound I-96/M-14 ramp to northbound I-275 remains closed through late summer. 

This work is part of the Revive275 project. Based on economic modeling, this $270 million investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 3,267 jobs. Project information can be found at Revive275.org. 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 improve the condition of the state's infrastructure.
