A $24 million project to rehabilitate 22 bridges on I-696. Fifteen of the bridges are located within the I-696/Mound Road interchange and the remaining bridges are located between Dequindre Road and Schoenherr Highway.
The remaining seven bridges include:
Eastbound 11 Mile Road over I-696 (two bridges);
Ryan Road over I-696;
Meredith Drive over I-696;
Sherwood Avenue over I-696;
Fairfield Avenue over I-696; and
El Capitan over I-696.
Also included is the reconstruction of 12 ramps, drainage and lighting upgrades within the interchange.
How traffic is affected:
Expect shoulder closures at any time.
Expect single lane closures on I-696 at any time. Expect multiple lane closures on I-696 during off-peak hours (8 p.m. to 5 a.m.) on weekdays and at all times on weekends.
Ramp closures are necessary for reconstruction and will be coordinated in order for motorists to access I-696 and/or Mound Road during construction.
