All eastbound lanes will be closed from Wixom Road to I-275 from 10 p.m. Friday until 2 a.m. Saturday. After 2 a.m., the eastbound lanes from Wixom Road to Novi Road will remain closed until 3 p.m. Saturday.
During the total closure, the ramps from Wixom and Novi roads to eastbound I-96 will be closed.
