Revive275 project update: I-275 between Will Carleton Road to 6 Mile Road in Wayne County

 

LIVONIA, Mich. ­- Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) crews will be washing and painting the 6 Mile Road bridge over I-275 in Wayne County 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. daily Monday, Oct. 9, and Tuesday, Oct. 10. Southbound I-275 will have only one lane open from 7 Mile to 6 Mile roads during this work, which may be delayed for a day or two, depending on weather. 

Other lane and ramp closures:

• The I-275 Metro Trail will be closed next week for repairs between 6 Mile and 7 Mile roads.
• The I-275 Metro Trail is closed between Van Born Road and US-12 (Michigan Avenue) until late October.
• I-275 has one lane open in each direction between Will Carleton Road and Eureka Road for bridge work and concrete patching.
• I-275 has two lanes open in each direction between Eureka and 6 Mile roads.
• The Ecorse Road ramp to northbound I-275 is closed through the end of October.
• The northbound I-275 Exit 22 to US-12 (Michigan Avenue) is closed through this week.
• The eastbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) ramp to northbound I-275 is closed through mid-/late October.
• The eastbound Ann Arbor Road ramp to northbound I-275 is closed through mid-November.
• The westbound Ann Arbor Road ramp to southbound I-275 is closed through mid-October.
• The eastbound M-14 ramp to northbound I-275 is closed through mid-November.
• The northbound I-275 ramp to I-96/M-14 is closed through mid-November.
• The westbound I-96 ramp to northbound I-275 has one lane open through mid-October.              

In mid-October, there will be a two-day closure of the westbound Eureka Road ramp to southbound I-275 and the eastbound Eureka Road to northbound I-275 for concrete surface coating on the bridge railing. 

By mid-November, northbound I-275 traffic should be shifted back onto the newly rebuilt I-275, although there will still be lane closures to remove the two-dozen median crossovers. 

By mid-December, northbound and southbound I-275 traffic should be reopened to three lanes in each direction. In 2024, there will be a few weeks of work involving bridge epoxy overlays, permanent pavement markings, etc. 

This work is part of the Revive275 project. Based on economic modeling, this $281 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.
