BACKGROUND:
Select bridges along the I-94 freeway in Detroit are being rebuilt in advance of freeway work based on their need from recent inspections and their importance to local street mobility and connectivity. This work is expected to begin in February with the new bridges opening to traffic in November.
The I-94 modernization project will improve safety and mobility by modernizing roughly 7 miles of I-94 between Conner Avenue and I-96. Included in the modernization is utility and bridge replacement, improvements to freeway interchanges, and work to build an additional freeway lane. Mainline freeway rebuilding is expected to begin in 2023. Additional project information is available at www.I94Detroit.org.
