I-696 Westbound Ramp Closed | Detroit News

from Detroit News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Westbound I-696 ramp to Southfield Road is officially closed, adding to years of construction chaos that’s turned daily commutes into hour-long nightmares. Residents and businesses are feeling the strain, but many admit they’re stuck with it—roadwork’s gotta get done, even if it means swallowing your frustration. Some drivers are comparing the gridlock to Atlanta’s constant crawl. Officials urge folks to reroute via Woodward in Royal Oak or M-10, Lahser, or Telegraph exits—and stay alert, because this isn’t the first delay, and it won’t be the last.
