GENESEE COUNTY, MI — Drivers heading east or west on I-69 in Genesee County could face slowdowns during the next six weeks because of single-lane closures by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
MDOT said in an advisory that the closures are expected to start on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and continue through Nov. 26 between I-75 and Morrish Road.
The closures are needed to build crossovers ahead of $33.3 million in bridge improvement work that’s expected in the area during the next two years, according to the announcement.
MDOT said repairs and upgrades are planned on 15 structures in the construction area as well as two structures near Sheridan Road (M-13) in Shiawassee County.
Expected to begin in early 2026 and to continue through October 2027, the expected work includes shallow and deep overlays, partial deck replacements, steel repairs, guardrails and approach work, according to the agency.
MDOT said additional traffic restrictions for the project will be announced in the future.
