Starting May 17, two lanes of westbound I-696 will be closed between Middlebelt Road and I-275.  A third lane will close at 11 p.m. which will leave only one lane open until all lanes reopen at 5 a.m. on Wednesday.
 
Beginning May 20 at 9 p.m., I-696 will shut down completely between Lahser Road and Middlebelt. It will reopen on May 23 at 5 a.m.
