OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – Another ramp closure begins Monday on I-696.
The westbound I-696 shared ramp to Lahser Road, Telegraph Road and Northwestern Highway is closed beginning Monday, May 4, through the summer.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) did not specify when the ramp will exactly reopen to traffic.
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 4, the Southfield Road/11 Mile Road entrance ramp to westbound I-696 will be closed, and westbound I-696 will only have two lanes open while pavement markings are added in the right lane.
From 9 a.m. on May 4 through the summer, the westbound I-696 exit 10 to Lahser Road, Telegraph Road and Northwestern Highway will be closed.
Here are the current ramp and 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 Van Dyke Avenue and westbound 8 Mile Road to southbound I-75.
- The westbound I-696 ramp to northbound I-75 is closed through late summer.
- Detour: Northbound Van Dyke Avenue and westbound M-59 to northbound I-75.
- The northbound and southbound I-75 ramps to westbound I-696 are closed through late summer.
- Detour: Westbound 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, which were closed last year, will remain closed until the project is completed.
MDOT said 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 Woodward Avenue Exit 16, which will be closed from late May through late summer, and Southfield Road Exit 12, which will be closed from late summer through the fall.
