Known as the “96 Fix,” The 7-mile-long reconstruction project includes repairing 37 overpasses, new freeway lighting and other utility upgrades between Newburgh and Telegraph roads.
Preliminary work on this $148 million investment started after the North American International Auto Show, and will focus on relocating utilities. This work will require intermittent lane closures on the eastbound and westbound service drives, with shoulder closures on the freeway below.
The project area is tentatively scheduled to be completely closed on Monday, March 24, weather permitting. During the full closure, both directions of I-96 traffic will be detoured using I-275, I-696, M-10 (Lodge Freeway) and M-39 (Southfield Freeway).
