WB I-94 in Detroit, Macomb Co. to close this weekend for bridge, road work

It's the other side's turn this weekend.

Westbound Interstate 94 will be closed this weekend between Interstate 696 in Macomb County and Interstate 75 in Detroit, state officials said Wednesday.

The Michigan Department of Transportation said it will close the freeway to enable crews to set bridge beams on the East Grand Boulevard overpass and continue road resurfacing.

Last weekend, MDOT closed eastbound I-94 between I-75 and I-696 to set the bridge beams.
