Farmington Hills / Southfield, MI - The I-696 Restore the Reuther Rebuilding Michigan project crews will begin bridge improvements on the southbound M-10 bridge over I-696 in the city of Southfield.
Beginning 7 a.m. Saturday, June 3, the right lane of southbound M-10 will be closed for bridge improvements. The remaining two open lanes will be shifted onto the left lane and shoulder. This configuration will remain in place until mid-June when the right lane of southbound M-10 is reopened and the left lane is closed. The remaining two open lanes will be shifted onto the right lane and shoulder until bridge work is complete in early July.
