WAYNE COUNTY (WWJ) - A section of southbound lanes on M-39 in Wayne County are closed through the weekend as crews work on maintenance and prepare for future building projects, the Michigan Department of Transportation said on Friday.
The affected stretch of highway runs from 8 Mile Road to Michigan Avenue including all on and off ramps; roadwork affects only the southbound lanes. Officials began closing the area off on Friday around 10 p.m. and the lanes will reopen at 5 a.m. on Monday, June 27.
MDOT said that road crews will be out to collect samples from soil and pavement borings to help pave the way for "a future M-39 rebuilding project in this area in 2025-2026."
Traffic will be rerouted to Telegraph Road where drivers can take Michigan Avenue to be back to M-39.
"The closure will allow crews to work safely versus closing multiple lanes in different locations over many weeks," MDOT officials said.
Other road projects in the Metro area could also snarl traffic through the weekend and beyond. That roadwork is as follows:
• Friday June 24 : NB/SB I-75 between M-8/Davison Frwy and 8 Mile. One lane is open each way starting 9 p.m. Friday, June 24 through 5 a.m. Monday, June 27.
• Fri June 24: In Ann Arbor, WB M-14 from Barton Drive to Main St. will have one lane closed starting 10 p.m. Friday, June 24 through 5 a.m. Monday, June 27. Additionally, the WB M-14 entrance ramp from Barton Dr. and the WB M-14 exit ramp to Main St. will be closed.
