Led by Project Manager David Harrison, MDOT will perform a total road reconstruction project on an 8.5-mile stretch of I-696, from Lahser Road to the I-275 interchange.
“The project will be a complete reconstruction of the highway between I-275 and Lahser,” Harrison said. “The freeway will remain open with at least two lanes in each direction, although there will be numerous ramp closures while being reconstructed, and ramp traffic will be detoured. The project is expected to take two to three years.”

Members of the Michigan Education Association and American Federation of Teachers are protesting in #Southfield and across the state today in response to Gov. Rick Snyder's announcement last month that he would appeal a June ruling by the Michigan Court of Appeals.
