Update: Westbound I-96 lane, ramp closures this weekend from Novi to Wixom roads for joint repairs in Oakland County

September 29, 2023

NOVI, Mich. - Beginning 5 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, through 10 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 1, westbound I-96 will have one lane open from Novi Road to Wixom Road for joint repairs. This work will also involve multiple ramp closures:

  • The northbound I-275 ramp to westbound I-96. Detour is further north on I-275 to northbound M-5, then to westbound 12 Mile Road to southbound M-5, then to westbound I-96.
  • The westbound I-96 ramps to Novi Road, Beck Road, and Wixom Road, and
  • The Novi Road, Beck Road, and Wixom Road ramps to westbound I-96.

Local traffic heading for westbound I-96 traffic will be able to access the freeway at Milford Road.

Funding for this project is made possible by 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.

Based on economic modeling, this $269 million investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 3,416 jobs.

There may be additional lane and ramp closures on this stretch of the project. For up-to-date information on the I-96 Flex Route, go to DrivingOakland.org.
