WB I-96/M-14 at I-275 Advisory

Emergency lane and ramp closures are currently being set up at WB I-96/M-14 at the I-275 interchange due to the poor conditions of the roads:

• WB I-96/M-14 from I-275 to Sheldon Road will be reduced to 1 LANE.
• SB I-275 ramp to WB M-14 will be CLOSED

These areas would have been closed within the next few weeks/months for reconstruction but the recent extreme weather changes have caused major deterioration of the roads and they must be closed, as soon as possible, around noon time today.

The detour for the SB I-275 ramp closure to WB M-14 is to continue further south to WB I-94 to NB US-23 to M-14.

LIVONIA, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is returning to rebuild the westbound side of M-14/I-96 from Sheldon Road to Newburgh Road, along with numerous interchange ramps, in the city of Livonia and Plymouth Township, Wayne County. Shoulder clearing work has already begun, with all of this year’s work expected to be finished at the end of the year (restoration work is planned for 2027). During construction, traffic will be shifted onto the newly built eastbound side of M-14/I-96 with two lanes open in each direction.

All work is weather-dependent and includes:
