Beginning in March 2025, the eastbound lanes of I-696 will be completely closed from Lahser Road to I-75 in Oakland County.
The project stretches through Southfield and Hazel Park. It is expected to impact thousands of drivers for at least two years.
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) plans to detour traffic onto the Lodge Freeway, then the Davison Freeway, before reconnecting with I-75 and up to I-696.
