MDOT will be improving the US-127 corridor from the Ingham/Jackson county line north to the I-69 interchange. Work is being broken into several projects between summer 2022 through fall 2029. The majority of work for these projects will take place over several phases.
These improvements will provide increased safety and mobility in this area of US-127, which is a significant local and national trade corridor.
The US-127 project in Ingham County and the US-127/I-496 project in Ingham County are part of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.
Winter 2022 - Fall 2029

MDOT will be rebuilding US-127 from south of Lake Lansing Rd. north to I-69 to improve roadway geometrics, safety and vehicular movement. This work will consist of sound wall installation, bridge rehabilitation, pavement repairs, upgrades to drainage and signs and intelligent transportation systems improvements.
Traffic will be shifted to the northbound side of US-127, where two northbound lanes open and one southbound lane will remain open most times. This traffic shift will require lane and ramp closures in both directions between Saginaw St. and I-69.
Motorists should expect delays and are encouraged to follow posted detour signs and consider alternate routes when possible.
Following the completion of this project in November 2026, MDOT will begin the next phase of US-127 improvements, rebuilding and realigning US-127 from I-496 to Lake Lansing Rd. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027 and continue over approximately three years. Additional details and traffic impacts will be shared in the coming months.
