DETROIT (WJBK) - As you're preparing for your weekend travels, Detroit drivers may want to take a look at these detours.

Both northbound and southbound M-10, aka The Lodge Freeway, will be closed this weekend between I-75 and Jefferson Avenue, according to MDOT.

The road closes down at 9 p.m. Friday and will be reopened 5 a.m. Monday.

MDOT will be demolishing the pedestrian bridge over M-10 near M-85.

The following ramps will be closed:

  • Southbound and northbound I-75 ramps to southbound M-10 ramps

  • Northbound M-10 ramp to southbound I-75 (scheduled to reopen by late August)
