Construction begins soon on M-14/I-96 freeway in Livonia and Plymouth Township
Lane restrictions will be in effect Friday through Sunday night as Michigan Department of Transportation gets ready for a rebuild of M-14/I-96 in Livonia and Plymouth Township.
The two-year, $140 million project involves reconstruction of the freeway. The eastbound side will be worked on this year; the westbound side is scheduled for 2026. A series of temporary lane restrictions was in effect Feb. 28-March 2; this weekend's work also is one of the preliminary steps.
About 125,000 vehicles a day pass through the construction area, which follows along both sides of the I-275 interchange.
The work will include road reconstruction including all ramps and at the I-275 interchange; rehabilitation of 17 bridges; drainage system improvements; freeway lighting replacement; and new Intelligent Transportation System Technology.
Here's what to expect in the next few days:
