This year's work will consist of rebuilding eastbound and westbound I-94 from Puetz Road, west of Red Arrow Highway Exit 23, to Washington Avenue, including bridges over Red Arrow Highway at Exit 23. There will be two lanes of I-94 open in each direction throughout the season. Other 2024 work includes drainage, sound abatement barriers, and culverts between Washington Avenue and Puetz Road.
Work in 2025 includes rebuilding westbound I-94 from Washington Avenue to Britain Avenue and the westbound I-94 bridge over Pipestone Road. There will be two lanes of I-94 open in each direction. Traffic will move to the newly built westbound I-94 lanes in 2026, and the eastbound lanes and bridge over Pipestone Road will be rebuilt.
Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 2,911 jobs.
Funding for this three-year, $204 million investment is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improve the condition of the state's infrastructure.
