ANNOUNCEMENTS 1 Jason Early From: Michigan DOT Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 8:07 AM To: Jason Early Subject: Reminder: Restore the Reuther project to close southbound I-75 ramp to westbound I-696 April 8 MDOT NEW S Share or view as webpage | Unsubscribe MDOT News April 7, 2026 Media contact: Diane Cross, CrossD2@Michigan.gov Reminder: Restore the Reuther project to close southbound I-75 ramp to westbound I-696 April 8 ROYAL OAK, Mich. - As part of the ongoing Restore the Reuther project on I-696 at the I-75 interchange in Oakland County, the southbound I-75 ramp to westbound I-696 will be closed beginning Wednesday, April 8, through the summer. In late February, the majority of the interchange ramps at this interchange were closed for rebuilding, bridge work, drainage and pavement work. The detour will direct drivers further down southbound I-75 to westbound M-102 (8 Mile Road), then northbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway) to westbound I-696. Reminder of current ramp/lane closures at the I-696/I-75 interchange:  Westbound I-696 has two lanes open from Dequindre Road to I-75. The westbound I-696 ramp to southbound I-75 is closed through late summer. Detour: Southbound M-53 (Van Dyke Avenue) and westbound M- 102 (8 Mile Road) to southbound I-75.  The westbound I-696 ramp to northbound I-75 is closed through late summer. Detour: Northbound M-53 (Van Dyke Avenue) and westbound M- 59 to northbound I-75.  The northbound I-75 ramp to westbound I-696 is closed through late summer. Detour: Westbound M-102 (8 Mile Road) and northbound M-10 to westbound I-696.  The northbound and southbound I-75 ramps to eastbound I-696 remain open.  The eastbound I-696 ramps to northbound and southbound I-75 that were closed last year will remain closed until the project is completed. Eastbound I-696 remains closed and detoured from M-10 to I-75 through late 2026 with westbound I-696 traffic currently shifted over to the newly rebuilt eastbound side near the I-75 interchange. All westbound I-696 ramps remain closed except for:  M-1 (Woodward Avenue) Exit 16 (will be closed from late May through late summer).  Southfield Road Exit 12 (will be closed from late summer through the fall), and  The shared Exit 10 ramp to US-24 (Telegraph Road)/M-10 (Lodge Freeway)/Lahser Road (will be closed from early May through the summer). This final phase of the Restore the Reuther project involves completing the rebuilding of I-696 in 2026, while in 2027 I-696 will have major road work done between I-75 and Dequindre Road. That work includes rebuilding the roadway, bridge improvements and drainage structures. As part of the project, 60 bridges are being repaired, including the rebuilding of the Church Street Plaza bridge that contains Victoria Park. That plaza has a walkway detour in place.
