I-94 and Pipestone Road construction starts Monday

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- The Michigan Department of Transportation is starting work on the I-94 rebuilding project between Red Arrow Highway and Britain Avenue on Monday.

The $7.3 million project includes pavement repairs on 8.8 miles of I-94 between Puetz Road to Britain Avenue.

In addition, the eastbound I-94 bridge over Pipestone Road will be widened, and new median crossovers and emergency pull offs will also be put in on the interstate.

Drivers should expect left-lane closures on I-94 going in both directions, along with single-lane closures on Pipestone Road.

The construction work is estimated to end in mid-November.
