Prep Work For Mt. Elliot Street Bridge Replacement Over I-94 In Detroit Starts Today
DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Michigan Department of Transportation contract crews have begun prep work to replace the Mt. Elliot Street overpass above I-94 in Detroit.
All work on this $20.5 million investment is scheduled to be completed in late fall.
The Mt. Elliot Street overpass closed Monday morning at 7 a.m.
In addition, the eastbound and westbound I-94 exit ramps to Mt. Elliot Street and the eastbound I-94 entrance from Mt. Elliot Street will close.
Overpass and ramp traffic will be detoured to M-53 (Van Dyke Avenue) during this replacement project.
These closures are needed for utility relocation prior to bridge demolition this spring.
This bridge replacement is part of the I-94 modernization project in Detroit that involves rebuilding 7 miles of freeway and replacing 67 bridges between Conner Street and I-96.
