Lansing, MI – Drivers traveling through Lansing should prepare for overnight delays today and Tuesday as northbound lanes and ramps on US-127 are closed for road work.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), northbound US-127 lanes and select ramps will be closed Monday and Tuesday, December 16–17, to allow crews to complete lane marking and remove temporary traffic control devices
The closures affect sections of US-127 within the city of Lansing in Ingham County and are scheduled during overnight hours to reduce daytime traffic impacts. MDOT says the work is part of ongoing roadway improvements and final cleanup from earlier construction phases.
Drivers should expect detours and possible slowdowns, especially during early morning and late-night travel. MDOT is advising motorists to follow posted detour signs, allow extra travel time, and consider alternate routes when possible.
Local commuters heading toward downtown Lansing or connecting highways may see the greatest impact, particularly near entrance and exit ramps along the northbound side of the highway. Traffic conditions may change depending on weather or construction progress.
MDOT also reminds drivers to remain alert in work zones, obey reduced speed limits, and watch for construction crews and equipment.
Updates, including exact ramp closures and detour maps, are available through MDOT’s official website and social media channels.
