How will traffic be affected and mitigated during construction?
During construction, a minimum of one lane each direction will be maintained. In 2025, both eastbound and westbound M-14 traffic will be maintained on westbound proper while the eastbound side is under construction. In 2026, eastbound and westbound traffic will be placed on the newly reconstructed eastbound pavement in order to reconstruct the existing westbound lanes.

The current schedule for the M-14 Reconstruction Project is from May 2024 through late 2026.
