Description

DETROIT — A section of Interstate 94 in Detroit will close down for five days as construction crews work on the Second Avenue bridge. Crews will close down both directions of the freeway between Interstate 75 and Interstate 96 on Thursday, Sept. 29 to Oct. 4. During the closure, eastbound Interstate 94 traffic will be diverted to eastbound Interstate 96, then northbound Interstate 75 back to eastbound Interstate 94. Westbound Interstate 94 traffic will follow southbound Interstate 75, then westbound Interstate 96 back to westbound Interstate 94. Crews will be working on the bridge's network-tied arch, which makes it the first of its kind in Michigan. The network cables from the top of the arch to the bottom of the road make it so a center pier isn't necessary, which will accommodate the future I-94/M-10 interchange. The Second Avenue bridge is expected to reopen to traffic this fall.
