I-94 lane closures: M-60 to Michigan Avenue
Daily lane closures are in effect on I-94 in Jackson County between M-60 and Michigan Avenue, running 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through October 8, per WCRZ’s “Michigan Road Closures to Watch” report. Midday closures are timed to avoid the heaviest rush hours, but the stretch between M-60 and Michigan Avenue is one of Jackson’s busiest interstate segments — expect slowdowns even outside the 9-to-3 window as construction equipment and shifting lane patterns remain in place.
I-94 Business Loop bridge closure
The I-94 Business Loop bridge (Louis Glick Highway) between Jackson Street and Mechanic Street has been closed since July 6, 2026, for bridge deck replacement and maintenance work, according to MDOT. The closure is scheduled to end at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 16, 2026. Detour: Traffic is routed via M-106 (Cooper Street) to Washington Avenue. Scope: $13.1 million investment; MDOT’s economic modeling says the project directly and indirectly supports nearly 111 jobs. MDOT says closing the bridge ensures the safety of workers and motorists, and that the improvements will extend the life of the bridge. Drivers heading through downtown Jackson should plan extra time — the Louis Glick Highway bridge is a key crosstown route, and the Cooper Street detour absorbs that traffic.
Planning ahead
Through Oct. 8: I-94 daily lane closures, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., M-60 to Michigan Avenue. Through Oct. 16 (7 p.m.): I-94 Business Loop bridge closed; use the Cooper Street/Washington Avenue detour. After mid-October, both projects are scheduled to clear — barring weather or schedule changes, which MDOT notes are always possible.
