1/13/14 - Another public information meeting is planned this week to discuss upcoming improvements that will be made this year and the next at I-96 and US-23 in Livingston County. The Michigan Department of Transportation is hosting the open house style meeting Tuesday at the Brighton Township Hall to help bring the public up to date on the project schedule but also take input on the bridge aesthetic concepts included in plans. Work includes constructing new through lanes on I-96 between the current eastbound and westbound lanes of the highway, along with building three new bridges over US-23 and over Old US-23. In addition, the existing bridges over US-23 and Old US-23 will be rebuilt. The existing lanes of I-96 will become collector-distributor or CD lanes as a way to improve safety at the interchange. Local officials, interested residents and commuters are encouraged to attend the meeting. It will take place from 4 to 7pm at the Brighton Township Hall on Buno Road. A link to more information regarding the project and the meeting can be found on MDOTâs website. The link is below. (JM)
