Construction begins Friday for M-14/I-96 rebuild near Livonia. Here's what to know
The Michigan Department of Transportation starts lane restrictions Friday in preparation for road work in the area of M-14 and Interstate 96.
The two-year, $140 million project is intended to rebuild M-14/I-96 between Sheldon Road and Newburgh Road in Plymouth Township and the city of Livonia in Wayne County, affecting the highway on both sides of the I-275 interchange. About 125,000 vehicles each day pass through that area, MDOT says.
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. This year's work focuses on the eastbound lanes of M-14/I-96; the westbound lanes and Metro Trail will be rebuilt in 2026.
MDOT says this two-year project is expected to directly and indirectly support 1,336 jobs, based on economic modeling.
