I-94 Closed Aug 9 - Aug 12

Post by robc007
From http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-1 ... --,00.html
ROADWAY:
Westbound I-94

CLOSEST CITY:
Ann Arbor

START DATE:
Friday, Aug. 9, 2013

END DATE:
Monday, Aug. 12, 2013

PROJECT:
Improvements to 9 miles of I-94 between M-14 and Carpenter Road, just east of US-23. Work includes concrete pavement repairs and resurfacing.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
Westbound I-94 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, until 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 12. In addition, the following ramps will be closed at the I-94/US-23 interchange:

Westbound I-94 to southbound US-23
Southbound US-23 to westbound I-94
Northbound US-23 to westbound I-94

The weekend closure is the final of four total weekend closures, one direction at a time, for concrete pavement repairs. During the closure, traffic will be detoured using M-14 and US-23.

Motorists are advised to plan extra time when traveling along westbound I-94 at this time. Alternate routes are strongly advised.
There is also a major event planned in this area at the same time: http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/airshow/

MDOT normally does not close highways during major events, so I will try to find out if there is any additional information about the scheduling conflict.

During the previous closures there have been major traffic accidents that temporarily closed part or all of the detour route as well. Drivers will need all the help they can get this weekend.

Waze, please close all of the following segments:

Please be careful that you do not close the detour route. These segments must remain open for routing:

Waze is helping out by e-mail.

I've reviewed all of the airport road connections and corrected several of them.

MDOT says they are doing construction during the air show to ensure they get it finished before students flood back in to Ann Arbor for fall move-in.

MDOT also posted these details:
