Wayne County, MI – Drivers traveling between Beck Road and Newburgh Road will see new lane changes this week as the M-14/I-96 reconstruction project moves into its next phase, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
Crews began closing lanes and ramps this week to reconfigure pavement markings and adjust the moveable barrier wall ahead of reopening the newly rebuilt eastbound lanes of M-14/I-96. MDOT said this milestone marks the project’s transition into its 2025 wrap-up phase.
According to MDOT officials, work will resume in February to rebuild the westbound lanes and continue improvements on the I-275 interchange. Construction in the area is expected to extend through late 2026.
Motorists are advised to watch for shifting traffic patterns, nightly lane closures, and potential delays along the corridor as crews finalize preparations for the next stage of the project. Drivers can find additional updates and detour maps on the MDOT website.
