Active construction projects
Inkster Road from Five Mile to Schoolcraft
Wayne County will be paving Inkster Road from Five Mile to Schoolcraft. Outside lanes will be closed to start milling the existing asphalt and lower storm inlets, concrete patching and curb replacements to allow for new pavement. Construction is anticipated to be completed by Nov. 15.
Wayne Road from Joy Road to Plymouth Road
Wayne County will be paving Wayne Road from Joy Road to Plymouth Road. They will be working on two lanes at a time, so one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction. Wayne County will be closing down the outside lanes first and doing all the curb and structure repairs, then paving them. The first phase is scheduled for six weeks, then, they will switch traffic to those lanes and close down and work on the inside lanes. The inside lane work is scheduled to last four weeks.
I-275
Through mid-November, MDOT has closed the northbound I-275 ramps (Exit 29) to both eastbound I-96 and westbound M-14 for bridge work. Traffic will be detoured further north on I-275 to westbound Seven Mile Road (Exit 169A), then southbound I-275 to the exit ramps to eastbound I-96 and westbound M-14.
This work is part of the Revive275 project. Based on economic modeling, this $270 million investment is expected to indirectly support 3,429 jobs. For more information, visit Revive275.org.
