A nine-mile stretch of eastbound Interstate 94 will be completely closed to all traffic this weekend through Ann Arbor for a construction project by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Beginning 10 p.m. Friday, both lanes of eastbound I-94 will be closed at the M-14 junction to the Carpenter Road overpass until 5 a.m. Monday.
As a result, entrance ramps to eastbound I-94 at Jackson Avenue, Ann Arbor-Saline Road and State Street also will be closed.
Traffic will be diverted to M-14 and U.S. 23 as a detour.
It's the second full closure of eastbound I-94 for the resurfacing project this summer.
MDOT anticipated the resurfacing project would close each direction of the freeway separately for four weekends. Closures will not take place on weekends when major events in the Ann Arbor area are taking place.
Drivers on north and southbound U.S. 23 still will be able to access eastbound I-94 during the weekend closure.
However, this weekend MDOT is closing the ramp from westbound I-94 to southbound U.S. 23 from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.
The posted detour will be through the U.S. 12 (Michigan Avenue) interchange at exit 181.
