Michigan Avenue bridge opens, 11 Mile Road bridge and I-94 ramp closes this week in Emmett Township

MARSHALL, Mich. - As part of the Marshall Modernization Project, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is opening the M-96 bridge over I-94 in Emmett Township, Calhoun County, on Thursday, Sept. 17. The same day, the M-311 (11 Mile Road) bridge over I-94 will be closing for approximately six weeks while crews rebuild the M-311 intersection with Wheatfield Avenue and the westbound I-94 ramp.

All I-94 ramps will remain open and in use, but traffic exiting westbound I-94 will use Wheatfield Avenue to Michigan Avenue. Traffic exiting eastbound I-94 will use Michigan Avenue and Wheatfield Avenue to access 11 Mile Road.

The Michigan Avenue entrance ramp to westbound I-94 will be closed daily from Friday, Sept. 18, through Monday, Sept. 21, while crews are paving westbound I-94 and the ramp. During the closures, there will be a detour on westbound Michigan Avenue and southbound I-194.
