Good Morning,

Some observations to help you on your trip:

1) I-696 Eastbound will be down to 1 lane from Telegraph road (US24) to I-75 starting at 7 or 9pm on Weekday nights.

2) I-696 East and Westbound may be down to 1 lane at any time over the weekend in the same areas.

3) I-75 construction still continues in and around downtown Detroit. If you are coming from the south (OH, PA, etc. where you would come up from/through Toledo) you will most likely have a marked detour.

4) The exits at Mound Rd off I-696 east or west bound may be closed. Suggest alternate route.

5) The on ramps to east or west bound I-696 at Mound Road are closed. Keep this in mind during your travels in and around ICHQ.

That is all I remember at the moment.. Hope that helps.

    Your debacle was the whole reason I posted.

    You were just the guinea pig.. you did your job well :rockon:

    6) I-94 East and Westbound in the 110 - 130 Mile marker range (might be 142 - 155 though) could also be down to 1 lane at night during the week or weekend. Re-Paving.

    They figure it makes our wagon train caravans move more smoothly.

    oh great. Starting to have nightmare flashbacks to driving to last year's food tour destinations. Road closures everywhere.

    Thanks a lot for the heads up Ryder

    Actually these closures/narrowings really aren't that bad.

    No, they are not, but even on my departure Sunday.. 696 WB was clogged once it got down to 1 lane and it was stop until telegraph.

    Just making people aware of it for their arrival/departure.
