PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A 3-year reconstruction project on M-14 and I-96 began this weekend with road closures between Sheldon and Newburgh roads in Wayne County.
Construction will include rebuilding the freeway with new concrete pavement from Sheldon Road to Newburgh Road, including the ramps at the M-14/I-96/I-275 interchange.
The work will also include maintenance on 17 bridges, and the rebuilding of the I-275 Metro Trail along M-14 from Edward Hines Drive to I-275.
This summer construction will include bridge work and shoulder widening. Next year, eastbound M-14/I-96 will be rebuilt. The westbound lanes will be rebuilt in 2026.
Reconstruction is expected to cost $139 million.
Road closures
Starting at 9 a.m. Friday, May 10, and lasting around one month, Northville Road will be closed over M-14 for bridge work.
Starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 10, and lasting until 5 a.m. on Monday, May 13, eastbound and westbound M-14/I-96 will be closed between Sheldon Road and I-275. The following ramps will also be closed:
- Eastbound M-14 to southbound I-275,
- Westbound M-14 to Sheldon Road,
- Northbound I-275 to westbound M-14,
- Southbound I-275 to westbound M-14, and
- Sheldon Road to eastbound M-14.
Detours
Westbound M-14/I-96 traffic will be detoured to northbound or southbound I-275:
- Northbound I-275 traffic can go further north to westbound I-96, then take southbound US-23 to eastbound or westbound M-14.
- Southbound I-275 traffic can go to westbound I-94, then take northbound US-23 to eastbound or westbound M-14.
Eastbound M-14/I-96 traffic will be detoured in Ann Arbor using southbound US-23 to eastbound I-94, then northbound I-275 to eastbound I-96.
Local traffic will be able to take eastbound M-14 up to Sheldon Road.
