Starting Friday morning, westbound M-14 from I-275 to Sheldon Rd. will close for the weekend through Monday morning.
As part of the project, there will also only be one lane open on eastbound M-14 & I-96, from Beck to Levan and all eastbound ramps are closing from Sheldon to Newburgh.
MDOT laid out the full timeline and all closures here.
On top of the westbound closure this weekend, eastbound M-14 from Sheldon Rd. to I-275 will be shut down between 8 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday.
MDOT is closing the entire stretch to prepare for the eastbound reconstruction project that will go on for the next year.
