The single-lane closure of southbound I-275 over Van Born Road is winding down. That project is scheduled to be finished at 9 a.m. Friday morning.

The southbound I-75 ramp to North Line Road in Wayne County reopened earlier this week.

In Detroit, eastbound and westbound McNichols, Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads over M-39–which has been closed since February–also should reopen at 3 p.m. Friday. The Joy Road overpass, however, will be closed until Aug. 1.

All lanes of M-39 will remain closed between M-10 and I-96, with an expected completion date of Oct. 31. Multiple lanes of M-39 are also closed between I-96 and Ford Road until the end of June.

Oakland County

Starting Wednesday, June 15, the northbound I-75 ramp to westbound M-59 will be closed through June 29. The posted detour utilizes the northbound I-75 ramp to eastbound M-59 and the northbound Squirrel Road ramp to westbound M-59.

In conjunction, the southbound I-75 ramp to eastbound M-59 is closed through Wednesday, June 15.

Macomb County

In Macomb County, westbound I-696 has single lane closures between Wagner Road and Gratiot. In addition, the westbound I-696 service drive from Gratiot to Mound also has intermittent single-lane closures.

Eastbound and westbound I-94 between Eight Mile and 11 Mile also has single-lane closures daily for lighting work until June 30.

St. Clair County

Starting Monday, northbound and southbound Allen Road over I-69 in Port Huron will be closed for bridge painting until the end of the month.

Eastbound I-69 from M-19 to Stapleton Road is also scheduled to be finished at midnight Monday after a right lane closure slowed traffic for the entire week.

Another long project slated to be finished Monday in St. Clair County is eastbound and westbound I-69 from Riley Center Road to Burt Road.

The connector ramp for westbound I-94 to I-69 also reopens at 7 a.m. Friday, June 17. In addition, the Lapeer connector ramp at westbound I-94/I-69 is scheduled to reopen at 7 a.m. Friday, June 17. The eastbound I-94/I-69 ramp from Water Street, however, is closed until Sept. 25.
