M 14/I 96 rebuilding project update: I 275 interchange ramp closures April 28 in Wayne County

LIVONIA/PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Mich. - As the M-14/I-96 project moves to the next stage of paving and rebuilding, there will be ramp closures at the M-14/I-96 interchange with I-275.

"Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to grow our economy, helping Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school and run errands safely," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes by a dime. This year, let's build on our momentum to pass a bipartisan local road funding plan so we can keep fixing our damn roads and creating good-paying, local jobs."

6 a.m. Monday, April 28 - late June:

• The northbound I-275 ramp to eastbound I-96 will be closed.
  • Detour: Eastbound I-696, southbound M-10 to southbound M-39 to I-96.

• Eastbound I-96 Exit 173 to Newburgh Road will be closed.
  • Detour: Farmington Road Exit 174.
• Eastbound Schoolcraft Road will have one lane open at Newburgh Road; the crossover bridges west of Newburgh Road will be closed.

9 a.m.- 3 p.m. Monday, April 28:
