There's a big weekend closure along I-696 starting the night of Nov. 14. Crews will be shifting traffic to the newly paved lanes. WWJ's Charlie Langton reports from above the freeway with MDOT's Diane Cross.
00:00Big weekend here, 696. We're going to switch and all this westbound traffic is going to go eventually to the east side. But Diane Frost, we're losing a lane. What's going on?
00:12We are, because it's a construction zone. So when we shift you over right here at Cousins, westbound 696 at Cousins, we're going to move that barrier wall and shift you onto that black asphalt with the white stripe. But we're losing a lane. For a year!
00:27We're losing a lot of exits, because you can only get off at 75 Woodward and Southfield Road. Everything else will be closed to get on or off of westbound 696.
