BERRIEN COUNTY , MI -- Interstate 94 lane closures are in effect for work in preparation to rebuild the highway near Benton Harbor, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) reports.
MDOT started work this week to prepare for the Interstate 94 rebuilding project between Red Arrow Highway and Britain Avenue in 2023 and 2024.
Work for the 2022 season began on Monday, June 27, and is estimated to end on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022, MDOT said.
Drivers should expect left-lane closures on eastbound and westbound I-94, and single-lane closures on Pipestone Road (with intermittent total closures and a posted detour).
This year’s work is a $7.3 million investment that includes pavement repairs on 8.8 miles of I-94 from Puetz Road to Britain Avenue, widening the eastbound I-94 bridge over Pipestone Road, and building median crossovers and emergency pull-offs on I-94, MDOT said.
Pipestone Road detours are:
Northbound Pipestone Road: Eastbound I-94, Napier Avenue, westbound I-94, and northbound Pipestone Road.
Southbound Pipestone Road: Westbound I-94, M-139, eastbound I-94, and southbound Pipestone Road.
Based on economic modeling, the investment is expected to support nearly 93 jobs, MDOT said.
