Eastbound and Westbound I-94
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. Work in 2024 will rebuild 3 miles of eastbound and westbound I-94 from Puetz Road (mile marker 22.5) to Washington Avenue (mile marker 25.5), including bridges over Red Arrow Highway at Exit 23. The work in 2025 and 2026 will be from Washington Avenue to Britain Avenue.
Two lanes of I-94 will be open in each direction throughout the work. Expect slowdowns during peak summer months.
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

ADDITIONAL BRIDGE REPAIRS IN BERRIEN COUNTY
