The Michigan Department of Transportation says I-96 Eastbound will close at Alpine Avenue (Michigan Highway 37) to reconstruct the interstate between West River Drive and the Grand River, as well as bridge improvements over U.S. Highway 131, the Grand River, Coit Avenue, Monroe Avenue and West River Drive.
After the work on I-96 Eastbound is complete, MDOT will close I-96 Westbound in the same area from mid-June through mid-August.
