The I-696 repairs in Oakland County only involve lane closures during overnights for saw cutting and weekend closures to remove concrete sections, pour new concrete and repair joints, MDOT officials said.
Otherwise, all lanes of I-696 in Oakland County remain open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays.
This weekend's closure is in addition to the long-term closure from I-94 to Dequindre Road in Macomb County that began in April and will continue through November, MDOT officials said.
