A major project on I-96 in Oakland County will enter a new phase on Wednesday.
The rebuilding of westbound I-96 between I-275 and Kent Lake Road continues with traffic sharing two lanes in each direction on the original eastbound side of I-96. Crews have worked around some ramps in order to keep them open, and now must close a lane and some ramps to fill in the missing pieces, MDOT says.
