Update: Reckless driver forces crews to make repairs again to westbound I-94 west of I-275 on Thursday in Wayne County

BELLEVILLE, Mich. ­- Weather delays are pushing back the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) planned pavement repairs to Thursday on westbound I-94 between Haggerty and Belleville roadsin Wayne County.

Last Saturday, crews previously closed the two right lanes for concrete repairs and then kept the right lane closed for concrete curing. Unfortunately, a reckless driver chose to avoid the traffic backups and drove on the shoulder and then into the fresh concrete, damaging the roadway.

Beginning 9 a.m. Thursday, April 18, crews will close the two right lanes of westbound I-94 from Haggerty to Belleville roads to perform concrete pavement repairs. Work in the two right lanes is expected to be finished by 5 p.m. Friday, April 19. Then the right lane will remain closed for concrete curing for approximately a week.

During work, access to the Belleville Rest Area will be open, as will the Belleville Road exit and entrance ramps.
