DETROIT (WWJ) -- If you're plans include freeway travel in Detroit this weekend, take note:
The Michigan Department of Transportation has announced that bridge beam setting will require closing a portion of eastbound I-94 at 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 17, through the weekend.
To allow MDOT to replacing the Cadillac Avenue bridge over I-94 in Detroit, eastbound I-94 will be closed from I-75 to Conner Avenue, MDOT said.
Eastbound I-94 is expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, Dec. 20.
Detour details: Eastbound I-94 traffic will be detoured via southbound I-75, the eastbound Gratiot Connector, northbound M-3 (Gratiot Avenue), and eastbound M-102 (Eight Mile Road) back to eastbound I-94. All entrance ramps to eastbound I-94 will be closed by 9 p.m. Friday from I-96 to French Road and will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.
The bridge work, and the freeway closure, are weather permitting.
