What we are doing: 

• A $13 million road and bridge rehabilitation project on I-696 in Oakland County.
• The project limits are between Halsted and Campbell-Hilton roads.
• The project is designed to improve the pavement condition on the I-696 corridor and rehabilitate 42 bridges.
• The pavement rehabilitation portion of this project will be conducted between Halsted and Scotia roads just to the east of Woodward Avenue. All pavement patching will be completed in conjunction with bridge rehabilitation to minimize the impact on traffic.
• The bridge rehabilitation includes substructure and deck repairs. Included in this project is repair to 42 bridges:

How traffic is affected: 

• A minimum of three lanes of traffic will be open in each direction on I-696 via traffic shifts, with the exception of a three-week period when east- and westbound I-696 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction over the Rouge River and over Drake Road for bridge deck replacement.
• During off-peak hours (9 p.m. to 5 a.m.) and at all times on weekends, I-696 may be reduced to two lanes in each direction.
• Traffic on local bridges will be maintained with a single lane in each direction where possible. Other structures will be closed and detoured to the next available overpass.
