Construction is ramping up with various closures as part of a big project on I-94 near Detroit Metro Airport.

Delays are expected and motorists should definitely allow extra time if traveling in the area.

MDOT advises that The Restore94 project has crews working on I-94 and M-39/Southfield. Plus, utility crews will be closing 94 this Saturday and Sunday for 15-minute periods.

Crews will be blocking a lane on EB/WB I-94 from I-275 to US-12/Michigan Avenue to build up the shoulders of I-94 to handle future traffic once traffic is shifted to begin the reconstruction in late July.
