Southfield Freeway Closes For Weekend

The biggest traffic news for the weekend is the closure of the Southfield Freeway from I-96 to Eight Mile Road in both directions starting Friday night. The freeway and service drives will remain closed until Monday at 5 a.m., according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

But that’s not the only Southfield Freeway headache. The northbound ramp to Michigan Avenue in both directions is closed until Nov. 22 for emergency bridge repairs over the Rouge River.
