Lansing, MI - Weather permitting, bridge beam setting and overpass demolition will require both directions of I-75 to be closed between M-102 (Eight Mile Road) and the I-75 Business Loop (Square Lake Road).
Fast facts:
- I-75 will be closed between I-75 Business Loop (Square Lake Road) and M-102 (8 Mile Road) starting at 11 p.m. Friday. Southbound lanes will reopen by 8 a.m. Sunday; northbound lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.
- During the closure, all traffic will be detoured to M-1 (Woodward Avenue).
