I saw a roadside sign this morning saying that I-696 will be closed this weekend between Telegraph and Grand River.  Plan your trips to ILRA/Kensington accordingly!


That is all.

I just read on clickondetroit.com that they plan to defer the 696 closures this weekend to help funnel the traffic from the big 1-75/9 mile bridge collapse.  Mdot is not one to be trusted though...I've gotten caught in traffic due to lane closures despite their website saying there wouldn't be.

Just confirmed on WDIV.  However, they mentioned a closure @ I-96 & I-275.  I need to find out if this means coming from 696.

Yeah, I was actually told about the cancellation, but I agree....Mdot can't be trusted.  I'm thinking it'll be 8 mile to Grand River for Sundays race

You may want to rethink the 8-mile route.  I drove through there yesterday on my way to Southfield.  They are re-doing the bridge over The Lodge so they push you over to the service drive/on ramp and then send you back up to 8-mile.  It was miserable yesterday morning, but may be a bit better on the weekend.

I think I may just take 94 to 96 to 14 & up 23 to Heartland for the kids tri tomorrow.  It is only 12 more miles than if I took 696 to 96 to 23 (which is impossible anyway) and from what I can tell is open the entire way.

As if pre-race stress isn't enough, I hate dealing with road BS (and I am not even racing).

For you East-Siders, we are at 8-mile & 94 & took 94 to 96 to 14 to 23 to get to the Kids Try @ Heartland (where my daughter got AG 1st & 2nd overall & my son got AG 4th) and it was a breeze out there.  It is ONLY a 12 mile difference than going 696 to 96 (which is impossible).

Good luck to all Carl's Racers tomorrow!!!
