Detroit’s I-94 will be completely shut down this weekend to allow for the demolition of the Second Avenue bridge. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has announced the closure, which will begin on Friday evening and continue until Monday morning. This major highway closure will significantly impact traffic flow in and around the city.
The demolition is necessary as part of an ongoing infrastructure project to modernize the I-94 corridor. The old Second Avenue bridge is being replaced with a new, improved structure. MDOT is urging drivers to seek alternate routes during the closure. Detours will be clearly marked, but motorists should expect significant delays.
The closure will begin at 9 PM on Friday and is scheduled to end by 5 AM on Monday. This provides a window for the demolition crew to safely and efficiently remove the old bridge. MDOT officials emphasize the importance of safety for both the workers and the traveling public during this operation. Drivers are advised to plan their trips accordingly and stay informed about the latest traffic updates. Local news outlets and traffic apps will provide real-time information on traffic conditions. The project aims to improve traffic flow and safety on I-94 in the long run. Finishtit
