Many construction projects will halt for the Holiday weekend.

Although, some restrictions will remain in place on freeways.

In Detroit:

Northbound and southbound I-75 remains closed between Clark Street (exit 47A) and the I-96 split (Exit 48) in southwest Detroit. Posted detour is northbound I-275 to eastbound I-94 back to northbound I-75. In conjunction, the left lane of southbound I-75 remains closed from M-3 to the I-96 split. In addition, the Vernor Road overpass above I-75 is reduced to a single lane in each direction.

Two lanes remain open on northbound and southbound I-75/I-375 between Jefferson Ave and I-94 in Detroit. In conjunction, the right lane of northbound I-75 is closed from Cass Avenue to the northbound I-75 (Fisher Freeway) to northbound I-75 (Chrysler Freeway) ramp. In addition, Warren Ave and Wilkins Rd overpasses are closed.

The left two lanes are closed on westbound I-96 from Martin Luther King Blvd to Warren Ave, and the left lane of eastbound I-96 is closed from I-94 to the I-75 merge in Detroit.

The ramps from southbound M-10 to eastbound I-94 and from northbound M-10 to westbound I-94 are closed. Detours are posted.

In Wayne County:
The following ramps are closed at the I-275/7 Mile Road interchange in Livonia: Eastbound 7 Mile Road entrance to northbound I-275 Southbound I-275 exit to eastbound 7 Mile Road Northbound I-275 exit to westbound 7 Mile Westbound 7 Mile entrance to northbound I-275.

For travel to the Upper Peninsula, northwest, west and northeast regions, including the Sunrise Side, Gaylord, Grand Traverse, Petoskey, Cadillac and Ludington areas, motorists are advised to use northbound US-127.

To further ease holiday travel to points north, MDOT is advising motorists to consider one of the following alternate routes, depending on their final destination: Lansing to the east side of the state, take US-127 north to M-20 east to US-10 east to I-75 (north of the Z-bridge); Genesee County Flint Area, take I-69 to I-75; Frankenmuth and Davison Area, take M-15 Heritage Route to I-75 (north of the Z-bridge); Brighton Area, take US-23 north to I-96 west to M-52 north to I-69 east to US-127; Ohio/Detroit Area, take US-23 north to I-94 west to US-127.

Lansing traffic headed to the west side of the state should use US-131 or US-31 to avoid the extra traffic on US-127.

Motorists choosing to remain on northbound I-75 through Saginaw County should follow the posted detour to I-675 northbound, back to I-75 northbound. Local traffic will be detoured from several on-ramps to I-675, including the off-ramp from I-675 northbound onto M-58 (Davenport Avenue); and the Michigan Avenue on-ramp to northbound I-675.

Local ramp closures will be in effect from Thursday, May 22, beginning at 3 p.m. until Saturday morning, May 24, at 6 a.m. to facilitate traffic heading north on I-675.
