Following the holiday weekend, a major reconstruction project will begin on nine miles of Interstate 94 on the south side of Ann Arbor.
One direction of I-94 will be entirely closed to traffic from late Friday to early Monday morning for four weekends from M-14 split to the Carpenter Road overpass.
The closures will be scheduled for weekends that don't have major events happening in the Ann Arbor area.
