(WXYZ) — Multiple vehicles got flat tires on I-696 eastbound near Orchard Lake this morning after hitting chunks of concrete.
MDOT says they started getting notified around 5:45 a.m. that drivers were getting flat tires in the left two lanes.
We’re told a joint in the highway started to crumble, loosening up chunks of concrete that drivers started to hit.
Oakland County road crews are expected to be out there today making repairs.
I-696 is scheduled to be rebuilt, starting this year, between I-275 and Lahser. Construction is expected to start soon. In March through the fall, only two lanes will be open between I-275 and Lahser.
