Traffic will be detoured onto southbound M-10 to eastbound Davison Freeway, then northbound I-75 to eastbound I-696.
This is the third weekend of closures on this stretch.
There will also be overnight lane closures on westbound I-696 from US-24 to I-275. One lane will remain open at all times.
Eastbound I-696 only has two lanes open from I-75 to Dequindre Road. The ramp to Dequindre Road will remain closed until mid-August for concrete removal and replacement. The ramp is expected to be completed and reopened after eastbound traffic is shifted across the median to the new pavement.
Westbound I-696 remains closed from I-94 to Dequindre Road through the fall.
