LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin work on northbound/southbound US-127/I-496 on Monday to stage traffic control for rebuilding.
This work is part of the $205 million investment to rebuild US-127/I-496 from I-96 to I-496 that will address safety concerns, improve roadway geometrics, and improve vehicular movement. In addition, this work is expected to improve and rebuild bridges through this segment and update drainage, signs, and pavement markings in Ingham County.
