DETROIT – Michigan 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.
