Beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, portions of westbound interstate 696 and eastbound Interstate 96 will be closed as part of continued work on the $275 million Rebuilding Michigan project.

This project will begin rebuilding the eastbound lanes next spring and then the westbound lanes in 2024.

Michigan's Department of Transportation says crews will be closing westbound I-696 from US-24 (Telegraph Road) to I-275 again to perform pavement repairs and shoulder widening throughout the weekend.
