About the lane closures

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is installing temporary bridge supports on the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 75 underneath the Interstate 94 interchange in Detroit.

A routine inspection revealed the concrete has deteriorated, creating a safety hazard.

The entire job is expected to take about a week.
