Milestone Contractors plans to temporarily close the Interstate 465 East Exit 27 ramp to U.S. 421 (Michigan Road) tonight in order to move temporary concrete barriers and shift traffic lanes for the next phase of construction.
Crews plan to close the ramp starting at midnight until about 2 a.m. Two lanes of traffic will be shifted to the right half of the ramp. When the ramp reopens, one lane will be a left-turn lane to northbound U.S. 421 and one lane will be a right-turn lane to southbound Michigan Road.
This construction phase is anticipated to last about two weeks, after which the ramp will open in a permanent configuration with three left-turn lanes to northbound U.S. 421 and two right-turn lanes to southbound Michigan Road.
The next phase of construction will lengthen the northbound Michigan Road right-turn lane to eastbound I-465. One right lane of northbound Michigan Road will be closed. At least two lanes will remain open, except for some temporary overnight restrictions.
