The stage change on US-127 begins on Friday in Ingham County

LANSING, Michigan – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin lane marking and guardrail removal to prepare for the opening of the newly constructed northbound lanes of US-127 from I-96 to Dunckel Road, including all ramps at the US-127/I-96 interchange.

This work is part of the $205 million investment to rebuild US-127/I-496 from I-96 to I-496, which will address safety concerns, improve roadway geometry, and improve vehicular traffic. In addition, this work will improve and rebuild bridges in this section and update drainage, signs, and pavement markings in Ingham County.
