DETROIT - Among the biggest road work projects expected to impact traffic this weekend are the closures of I-696 ramps that lead onto northbound I-75. 

Michigan Department of Transportation crews are planning pavement repairs that will close parts of the interchange until Labor Day if the weather allows for it. 

The eastbound ramp will close Saturday morning while the westbound ramp will shut down Sunday morning.
