LANSING, MI — The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will resume work beginning Monday on southbound US-127, including rebuilding remaining bridges, sound wall construction, additional freeway lighting, drainage improvements, traffic signal work, guardrail work, and pavement markings.
The project will require several intermittent lane and ramp closures for pavement markings and temporary concrete barrier placement beginning at 6:00 a.m. March 3. Then on March 18, both directions of US-127 traffic, between I-496 and I-96 in south Lansing will be shifted to the northbound side of the freeway, with northbound and southbound traffic separated by a concrete barrier.
The following ramps will be closed and detoured from March 18 until mid-June:
- Westbound I-96 to southbound US-127
- Southbound US-127 to westbound I-96
- Southbound US-127 to eastbound I-96
- Dunckel Road to southbound US-127
The following ramps will be closed from March 18 until mid-November:
- Northbound US-127 to westbound I-496
- Eastbound I-496 to Trowbridge Road
- Southbound US-127 to Trowbridge Road
- Trowbridge Road to southbound US-127
- Kalamazoo Street/Howard Street to southbound US-127
The work is part of the $205 million investment to rebuild US-127/I-496 from I-96 to I-496 to address safety concerns, improve roadway geometrics and improve vehicular movement.
