Beginning Saturday, MDOT will have significant closures to complete the final pavement marking for the Grand River Ave and I-96 Project.

Starting at 5 am Saturday, through 5 am Monday, both eastbound and westbound Grand River Ave. will be closed between the EB I-96 on-ramp and the WB I-96 off-ramp to finalize pavement markings for the Diverging Diamond Interchange.

Intermittent Ramp Closures:

- EB I-96 off-ramp to Grand River Ave.
- WB Grand River Ave. to WB I-96 on-ramp

Grand River Ave. Detours:
