(WWJ) Drivers in Metro Detroit will be dealing with numerous freeway closures across the area this weekend, including the start of the first phase of a long-term project on I-696.
MDOT will be closing westbound I-696 completely between Telegraph Road and I-275, beginning Friday at 8 p.m.
The closure is expected to last until 5 a.m. Monday, when lane closures for this work will continue with only two lanes open along WB I-696 from Evergreen to I-275 through late December.
In Wayne County, meanwhile, northbound I-75 in Detroit will be closed from I-375 to 8 Mile road from 7 a.m. Saturday until 5 p.m. Sunday.
The local lanes of eastbound I-96 from Outer Drive to M-8/Davison will be closed from 10 a.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. On the other side, the local lanes of westbound I-96 will be closed from M-8/Davison to the Southfield Freeway from 7 p.m. Friday until noon on Monday.
