Lansing, MI – Motorists in Lansing may experience short delays early Sunday morning as the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) authorizes temporary lane closures on I-496 at Grand Avenue.
According to MDOT, Comcast has been issued a permit to complete utility work beginning at 5 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025, with the project expected to finish by 6 a.m. that same morning.
The work will involve intermittent lane closures in both directions on I-496 near Grand Avenue. Michigan State Police (MSP) will maintain traffic control throughout the operation to ensure the safety of workers and motorists.
Drivers traveling through downtown Lansing should plan for possible brief delays or consider alternate routes during the hour-long project window. Officials say the closures are necessary to allow crews to safely complete the required maintenance work.
The project highlights ongoing coordination between MDOT, Comcast, and law enforcement to maintain infrastructure and minimize disruption to the public.
Safety officials emphasize that slowing down in work zones protects both utility workers and drivers sharing the road.
