(WWJ) -- Watch out for these major freeway and road closures when heading to downtown Detroit this weekend for a Tigers, Pistons or Red Wings game.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, I-75 will be closed between I-696 and the Business Loop -- or Square Lake Road -- in both directions to install bridge beams on the overpass between Gardenia and Lincoln avenues.
In addition, 13 Mile Road will be closed between Mally and Concord drives to allow workers to set beams on the northbound I-75 bridge over 13 Mile Road starting at 8 p.m. Friday, and continuing until 5 a.m.
MDOT will also close I-94 in both directions from I-96 to I-75 so crews can demolish the Grand River bridge.
