BACKGROUND:
MDOT staff and consultants will share the latest project information based on previous input in regards to reducing the project’s footprint on the local street system in midtown, improving neighborhood connectivity along the corridor, and providing more multi-modal options on designated overpasses. These proposed modifications under consideration would maintain the advantages of modernizing the freeway and would improve community connectivity.
This project will improve safety and mobility by modernizing roughly 7 miles of I-94 between Conner Avenue and I-96. Included in the modernization is utility and bridge replacement, improvements to freeway interchanges, and construction of an additional freeway lane.
