MDOT ramps up construction with ramp closures

It is part of the latest development in the Restore The Reuther project, a $275 million effort. It involves the shutdown of seven ramps along I-696 WB which started at 8 p.m. Friday night. Then on Saturday at 4 a.m., both NB and SB I-75 ramps to WB I-696 will also be closed all the way to Lahser. As you can imagine, drivers are on a little edge about it all. They aren’t the only ones. People working in stores and restaurants along 696 are feeling some stress too.
