I-94 closed for weekend between I-75 and the Lodge to replace Brush Street overpass
(FOX 2) - MDOT is closing I-94 between I-75 and M-10 for the weekend as crews demolish the Brush Street overpass.
The demolition will begin 9 p.m. Friday and all lanes will reopen 5 a.m. Monday.
According to MDOT, during this time: "Westbound I-94 traffic will use southbound I-75 and westbound I-96 to go back to westbound I-94. The northbound and southbound M-10 ramps to westbound I-94 will remain open. All entrance ramps to westbound I-94 will be closed from Mt. Elliot to John R. Street and will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.
"Eastbound I-94 traffic will use eastbound I-96 and northbound I-75 to go back to eastbound I-94. The eastbound I-94 ramps to northbound and southbound M-10 will remain open for local traffic. All entrance ramps to eastbound I-94 will be closed from 30th Street (west of Warren Avenue) to M-10 and will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.
"Beginning Friday night, the northbound and southbound I-75 ramps to westbound I-94 will remain closed for the duration of the bridge replacement. The ramp closures are needed for safety reasons due to their proximity to Brush Street. The northbound and southbound I-75 ramps to westbound I-94 are expected to reopen in November."
