Metro Detroit Traffic: I-275 Down To 2 Lanes In Both Directions

PLYMOUTH-CANTON, MI — Drivers can expect more delays on Interstate 275, as construction crews reduced the freeway to just two lanes in both directions from Eureka Road to 5 Mile Road until late fall.

Southbound lanes on the freeway will be shifted to three lanes at 7 Mile Road. Drivers who take m-14 to Ann Arbor need to stay in the right lane and those heading to I-96 east need to stay in the center lane, state officials said.

However, all southbound on and off ramps will be accessible with median crossover ramps except when crews are working on specific ramps, state officials said.

The freeway's $270 million project that includes the repair of 65 bridges and 24 miles of Interstate 275 from Will Carleton Road to Six Mile Road entered its second year this winter. The project is expected to be finished by fall of 2024.
