Two major highway routes around Ann Arbor will see new pavement this summer as a result of Michigan Department of Transportation construction.

About nine miles of Interstate 94 in both directions will be repaved from the split at M-14 on the west side of Ann Arbor to the Carpenter Road overpass on the east side of Ann Arbor, said Kari Arend, spokeswoman for MDOT.

M-14 in both directions between the tri-level interchanges on the north side of Ann Arbor also will be resurfaced, Arend said. The interchanges themselves are the endpoints for the project.

M-14 will be resurfaced from approximately April to early July, and resurfacing of I-94 will last from mid- to late-July and extend through early fall. Both projects may require off-peak lane closures on nights and weekends, Arend said.

The resurfacing projects are just a portion of what MDOT is planning for the 2013 construction season.

A full list of MDOT construction projects for 2013 will be released in March.

During the summer of 2012, MDOT resurfaced U.S. 23 from Washtenaw Avenue to M-14, which required lane closures during weekends.

M-14 from the U.S. 23 interchange to the Wayne County line also was under construction as MDOT completed a repaving project last summer.
