Some pop-up work has been scheduled as part of the I-96 Flex Route project this weekend – including a short full freeway closure.

On Saturday morning from 6 to 7am, eastbound I-96 will have one lane open from Wixom to I-275. Also on eastbound I-96 from 7am-7:30am, there will be a full freeway closure from Wixom to I-275 for approximately 15-30 minutes.
