I-94 ramp to close at Southfield Freeway for wall repair

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (FOX 2) - The westbound I-94 ramp onto the Southfield freeway will be closed to southbound traffic for repairs.

In addition to the regularly-scheduled construction that descends on Michigan in the spring, road crews will need to make repairs to a wall that was damaged in a crash.

According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, beginning Wednesday, April 13 through the end of the month, westbound I-94 traffic will need to find a different route onto M-39.

The closure will go into effect at 7 a.m.

Traffic will instead be detoured onto northbound M-39, then westbound Outer Drive before being diverted back onto the southbound lanes.

The closures will temporarily lift over Easter Holiday weekend from 3 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Monday.
