M-14/I-96 rebuilding project in Wayne County begins Friday, Feb. 28

LIVONIA/PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will soon begin a two-year, $140 million project to rebuild M-14/I-96 in the city of Livonia and Plymouth Township, Wayne County. 

Beginning Friday, Feb. 28, crews will reduce lanes for the rebuilding of the eastbound side of M-14/I-96 from Sheldon Road to Newburgh Road through late 2025. Westbound M-14/I-96 will be rebuilt in 2026. 

While crews rebuild the eastbound lanes, there will be one lane open on eastbound M-14/I-96 from before Beck Road to Levan Road, with all eastbound entrance and exit ramps closed from Sheldon to Newburgh roads. 

Short-term ramp closures will include:

  • The Sheldon Road exit ramp will only be closed for approximately one month.
  • The I-275 ramps to eastbound I-96 will be closed for approximately two months, while the other ramps will be closed through the end of 2025. Westbound traffic will have two lanes open and all westbound exit ramps will remain open, except the northbound I-275 ramp to westbound M-14 that will be closed for the year. 

During the work next year to rebuild the westbound lanes, there will be two lanes open in each direction with numerous ramp closures. 

Traffic control for this project has been carefully considered for the approximately 125,000 drivers who use M-14/I-96 daily near the I-275 interchange. 

The Metro Trail will be rebuilt during the 2026 season. Project details and maps can be found at www.M14Reconstruction.org. 

Jobs numbers: Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 1,336 jobs.
