Lansing, MI – Drivers traveling through downtown Lansing early Saturday morning should plan for brief lane closures along I-496 near Grand Avenue as utility crews perform scheduled work for Comcast.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the maintenance was originally set for October 19 but has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 8, between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m.
During this one-hour window, motorists can expect intermittent lane closures in both directions of I-496 while crews complete the permitted utility operation. The Michigan State Police (MSP) will assist with traffic control to help maintain safe and steady traffic flow through the area.
Officials advise drivers to plan extra time and remain alert for lane shifts or brief stops as work progresses. The closures are necessary to ensure the safety of utility workers and motorists, MDOT added.
While the impact is expected to be minor due to the early morning schedule, commuters heading to work or early events in the Lansing area should use caution and consider alternate routes.
