Five Mile/Levan and Newburgh/Lyndon Signals Project
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) crews will modernize traffic signals, as well as complete concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk and sidewalk ramps work, and pavement markings, all on Five Mile Road at Levan Road and also on Newburgh Road at Lyndon Street. Intermittent and single daily lane closures and shifts will occur, as well as short-term pedestrian route detours and intermittent sidewalk closures. The project is estimated to start March 9, with traffic reopening June 26 prior to the final completion Oct. 16.
M-14/I-96 project resumes in Wayne County in late February
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is returning to rebuild the westbound side of M-14/I-96 from Sheldon Road to Newburgh Road, along with numerous interchange ramps, in the city of Livonia and Plymouth Township, Wayne County. Work is set to begin in late February and be finished at the end of the year, with restoration work planned in 2027. During construction, traffic will be shifted onto the newly built eastbound side of M-14/I-96 with two lanes open in each direction.
All work is weather-dependent and includes:
- Rebuilding westbound M-14/I-96 from Sheldon Road to Newburgh Road.
- Rebuilding ramps at Newburgh Road, I-275 and Sheldon Road (Exit 20).
