I-96/Grand River Avenue Interchange Rebuilding Project - Livingston County
About this project
The I-96/Grand River Avenue interchange project involves rebuilding the interchange as a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). As part of the project, two structures will be replaced along I-96. Those include the two I-96 bridges over Grand River Avenue. The planned improvements to the interchange will require acquiring additional right of way.
Planned work
- Rebuild I-96 bridges over Grand River Avenue.
- Rebuild approximately 0.7 miles of I-96 approaches to accommodate bridge replacements.
- Rebuild and reconfigure ramps at the Grand River Avenue interchange as a DDI.
