Jackson, MI – Drivers on westbound I-94 through Jackson County should prepare for lane restrictions Tuesday, Sept. 23, as crews conduct utility work requiring a single-lane closure.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the closure will take place between Hawkins Road and Elm Avenue in Jackson. The restriction begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday and is scheduled to remain in place until 3 p.m. the same day.
MDOT officials said the project involves permitted utility work and will reduce traffic flow to one lane during operations. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and anticipate delays along the corridor.
The closure is designed with safety in mind, according to MDOT. By limiting lanes, officials said they can protect both utility workers and motorists passing through the work zone.
Drivers traveling through Jackson County Tuesday are encouraged to seek alternate routes where possible or adjust schedules to avoid peak travel times.
