I-96 Construction (US-127 to Meridian Road) – Beginning in April 2010, freeway reconstruction is expected to begin, including ramp work at the Okemos Road/I-96 interchange (Exit 110). Four of the six ramps at the Okemos Road interchange will be reconstructed, along with traffic signal upgrades at the eastbound I-96 exit ramp. The westbound off ramp at Okemos Road will have a temporary traffic signal to accommodate the different phases of construction. The rest area located along westbound I-96, just east of Okemos Road, will be rebuilt, and work is expected to start in July 2010 and completed by May 2011. This will require a complete closure of the facility. All road construction on I-96 is expected to be completed by November 2010. Construction map.
I – 96, Wacousta Road to M-43 (Saginaw Highway) – This project involves the reconstruction of I-96 from Wacousta Road to M-43 (Saginaw Highway), reconstruction of the I-96 interchange ramps at Grand River Avenue and M-43, reconstruction of the M-43 and Canal Road intersection, and rehabilitation of 10 bridges along I-96. All work is expected to be completed by Labor Day of 2011.
- Starting in March 2010, work begins to reconstruct I-96 in Clinton and Eaton counties. The work includes reconstructing 5.8 miles of I-96, reconstructing the Grand River Avenue ramps and new signing and pavement markings.
- Also included is the rehabilitation of 10 bridges along I-96 including: Wacousta Road over I-96, eastbound and westbound I-96 over Grand River Avenue, I-69 eastbound and westbound over I-96, Eaton Highway over I-96 and I-69, Willow Highway over I-96 and eastbound and westbound I-96 over M-43.
- In 2010, there also will be ramp improvements made at the I-96/M-43 interchange. The loop ramps in the northwest and southeast quadrant on the interchange will be removed, while the other loop ramps at the interchange will be reconstructed.
- Then, in the spring of 2011, M-43 will be reconstructed from Marketplace Boulevard to east of Canal Road. Capacity improvements also will be made at the M-43/Canal Road intersection, including dual left turn lanes constructed at all four quadrants of the intersection.

East Circle Drive Reconstruction: Phase I – This project will reconstruct East Circle Drive from Farm Lane to Berkey Hall, located in the North Academic District. Work will include removing most on-street parking, adding bike lanes, realigning the road in front of the Student Services Building to accommodate the future Farm Lane intersection design, relocating the barrier-free parking from in front of the Student Services Building into Parking Lot 8 (west of Student Services), eliminating the driveway just east of Berkey Hall to accommodate the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, relocating several pedestrian road crossings and approach pathways for improved pedestrian traffic and safety and widening the Parking Lot 8 entrance to accommodate two-way traffic. This project will be constructed simultaneously with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum.
Timeline: Construction is planned to begin in May 2010 and will be substantially complete by April 2012, with final completion by January 2013.
