QUICK OVERVIEW FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has begun a three-year, $204 million investment to improve and build a longer-lasting I-94 in Southwest Michigan. In 2024, MDOT will work from Puetz Road to Washington Avenue. The work in 2025 and 2026 will be from Washington Avenue to Britain Avenue.

Here is what to expect:

I-94, EAST AND WESTBOUND 

• Remove and replace the aging pavement, signs and guardrails. 
• Improve drainage, sound abatement barriers and culverts between Puetz Road (mile marker 22.5) and Washington Avenue (mile marker 25.5). 
• Add an auxiliary lane on eastbound I-94 to connect the Pipestone Road and Napier Avenue interchanges. 

I-94, RAMP REBUILDS

• Rebuild all ramps at I-94 Business Loop, M-63 and Pipestone Road interchanges.
• Add a new ramp to carry northbound M-63 traffic to eastbound I-94. It will eliminate making a left turn onto the existing loop ramp. 
• Repave M-139 and Napier Avenue ramps.
• Make minor repairs to the M-139 carpool lot and expand and resurface the I-94 Business Loop lot to accommodate more vehicles. 

I-94 BRIDGE REBUILDS

The following I-94 bridges will be demolished and rebuilt:

• Pipestone Road
• I-94 Business Loop

I-94 BRIDGE REPAIRS

• Lincoln Avenue
• CSX railroad
• St. Joseph River
• Washington Avenue

ADDITIONAL BRIDGE REPAIRS IN BERRIEN COUNTY

MDOT will repair nine bridges between Puetz Avenue in Stevensville and Washington Avenue in Berrien County.
