Bridge inspections by the Michigan Department of Transportation along U.S. 23 will result in brief lane and ramp closures this weekend.
One lane of northbound and southbound U.S. 23 just north of the Interstate 94 interchange will be closed from 6 to 8 a.m. Sunday.
Several brief lane and ramp closures will affect drivers on U.S. 23 this weekend.

The entrance ramp to southbound U.S. 23 from westbound Plymouth Road will be closed, as will the entrance ramp to northbound U.S. 23 from eastbound Plymouth Road.
Both of the Sunday bridge inspections precede a Wednesday single lane closure on northbound U.S. 23 from M-17 to Geddes Road.
I-94 will be free of closures Saturday and Sunday, but MDOT's major reconstruction project of I-94 on the south side of Ann Arbor is next slated to continue the following weekend of July 26 to 29.
The resurfacing project requires a full closure of both lanes of one direction of traffic at a time.
From 10 p.m. July 26 to 5 a.m. July 29, eastbound I-94 will be completely closed to traffic from the M-14 split to the Carpenter Road overpass of U.S. 23. Drivers will be detoured along M-14 and U.S. 23. It will be the second full closure of eastbound I-94 this summer.
