(CBS DETROIT) - The Michigan Department of Transportation announced crews will make pavement repairs on I-94 again after a reckless driver went through fresh concrete to avoid traffic. 

Starting at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 18, crews will close the two right lanes of westbound I-94 from Haggerty to Belleville roads for concrete repairs. 

Crews had closed the two right lanes last Saturday for concrete repairs, but a reckless driver decided to avoid traffic backups and drove on the shoulder and then on fresh concrete, damaging the road. 

The concrete repair work is expected to be completed by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 19, according to MDOT.

The work was initially scheduled to be done on Wednesday and Thursday, but the weather conditions in Southeast Michigan pushed it back.

While crews are working, the Belleville Rest Area, along with the Belleville Road exit and entrance ramps, will stay open.
