July 21, 2009 -- Extensive bridge repair is expected to begin on Monday, July 27, on a stretch of I-96 in Detroit, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Ten bridges will get new driving surfaces between Davison and Livernois avenues.

Once the bridge rehabilitation begins, two lanes will remain open on eastbound and westbound I-96 during peak travel periods. During the overnight hours on weekdays, and all times on weekends, up to three lanes may be closed. Full closures are permitted when crews will be demolishing overpasses.

The overpasses receiving new decks include westbound Davison Avenue to eastbound I-96 (two bridges), Fullerton and Elmhurst roads, Grand River Avenue (two bridges), Livernois Avenue (two bridges) and Oakman Boulevard (two bridges). Bridge work will be staged to provide motorists with mobility.

The work will continue through the winter months, with a completion date of November 2010. This $16 million investment is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
