WB I-94 from I-75 to I-96 in Detroit to close this weekend for bridge beam setting

Bridge beam setting was rescheduled after being delayed due to high winds

(WSLS)

DETROITMichigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) crews will be setting steel bridge beams on the Grand River overpass above I-94 this weekend, if the weather cooperates.

The work requires the closure of westbound I-94 from I-75 to I-96 starting at 9 p.m. on Friday (Nov. 11). Westbound I-94 is expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday (Nov. 14). The work was scheduled to begin last weekend, but high winds caused MDOT to postpone the project.
