M-39 Closed On March Weekends
DETROIT (WWJ) - During the first three weekends in March, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will close both directions of M-39 Southfield Freeway in order to safely demolish overpasses.
Each weekend closure in March will occur between M-153 (Ford Road) near Dearborn and the M-10 (Lodge Freeway) interchange in Southfield.
Entrance ramps to M-39, including the ramps at the I-96 interchange, will begin closing each Friday at 8 p.m. During the full closure, all M-39 traffic will be detoured to US-24 (Telegraph Road). After 5 a.m. each Monday, all traffic lanes will reopen on the M-39 freeway.
MDOT is overseeing the $80 million construction project. In all, 24 bridges will be rehabilitated and more than three miles of the Southfield Freeway will be reconstructed this year.
