Road work is starting for the season Tuesday in the M-14 / I-96 Reconstruction project area in Wayne County, Michigan.

This year's work includes rebuilding the westbound side of M-14 / I-96 in the city of Livonia and Plymouth Township. During the construction, traffic will be shifted onto the newly built eastbound side of M-14/I-96 with two lanes open in each direction.

The current and upcoming lane and ramp closures are detailed on the project's website.
