I-96 Flex Route project update: Eastbound I-96 ramp to Novi Road closing July 8 for rebuilding in Oakland County

June 28, 2023

NOVI, Mich. ­- As part of the I-96 Flex Route Rebuilding Michigan project in Oakland County, crews will begin rebuilding the Novi Road interchange. Starting at 7 a.m. Saturday, July 8, through late August, the eastbound I-96 ramp to Novi Road will be closed to be rebuilt.

Eastbound I-96 traffic heading for Novi Road will exit before Novi Road at southbound Beck Road, then take eastbound Grand River Avenue to reach Novi Road.

Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.

Based on economic modeling, this $269 million investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 3,416 jobs.

There may be additional changes to this stretch of the project. For up-to-date information on the I-96 Flex Route, go to DrivingOakland.org.
