DETROIT (WWJ) – Drivers headed to Detroit may need to find another route, as a large portion of I-75 will be closed in the city this weekend for road repairs and bridge work.
Southbound I-75 will be closed from 8 Mile Road on the north end of the city, all the way to I-375 in downtown Detroit.
The closure will begin at 9 p.m. Friday and last until 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 29, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
All ramps from 9 Mile Road through Mack Avenue will also be closed.
The freeway-to-freeway detour is SB I-75 to westbound 8 Mile, then SB M-10 back to SB I-75.
