Both lanes of westbound Interstate 94 will be closed through Ann Arbor for the final phase of a construction project by the Michigan Department of Transportation.

It's the final full closure of traffic lanes on the highway this summer for a $4 million pavement repair project.

Beginning 10 p.m. Friday, westbound I-94 will be closed until 5 a.m. Monday. The closure extends from the Carpenter Road overpass on the east side of Ann Arbor to the junction at M-14 on the west side of Ann Arbor.

Vehicles traveling west on I-94 will be routed to northbound U.S. 23 and then to M-14 as a detour.

The exit ramp from westbound I-94 to southbound U.S. 23 will be closed as a safety precaution, as the exit ramp is within the bounds of the construction.

MDOT officials advise drivers to seek the alternative routes of U.S.12 and M-17.

MDOT has previously closed eastbound I-94 in Ann Arbor for two weekends and westbound I-94 for one weekend as a part of the project.

Sections of the concrete base of the roadway are being removed and replaced as a part of the project along the nine miles of I-94 in Ann Arbor. MDOT was able to fund a new asphalt overlay on three miles of I-94 from State Street to approximately Jackson Road.
