(CBS-DETROIT) – The Michigan Department of Transportation announced that crews will once again be making pavement repairs on I-94 after a reckless driver drove through fresh concrete to avoid traffic.
Beginning at 7 a.m. Wednesday, April 17, crews will close the two right lanes of I-94 westbound from Haggerty to Belleville for concrete repairs.
Crews had closed the two right lanes last Saturday for concrete repairs, but a reckless driver decided to avoid traffic jams and drove onto the shoulder and then onto fresh concrete, damaging the road.
According to MDOT, the concrete repair work is expected to be completed Thursday, April 18, by 5 p.m.
Weather conditions in Southeast Michigan could impact operations, and if that happens, crews will move repairs to Thursday and Friday.
While crews are working, the Belleville Rest Area, along with the exit and ramp to Belleville Road, will remain open.
