Beginning 10 p.m. Friday, June 24, through 5 a.m. Monday, June 27, southbound M-39 will be closed from M-102 (8 Mile Road) to US-12 (Michigan Avenue) along with all on and off ramps.

Traffic will be detoured via westbound M-102 (8 Mile Road) to southbound US-24 (Telegraph Road), then eastbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) back to M-39.

The closure will allow crews to work safely versus closing multiple lanes in different locations over many weeks.
