Overview
- MDOT says a sinkhole opened in the right lane of the northbound Southfield Freeway (M-39) ramps to eastbound I-96.
- The northbound M-39 ramp to eastbound I-96 is fully closed as crews conduct emergency repairs.
- The southbound M-39 ramp to eastbound I-96 local lanes is closed, though the express lanes remain open with the first exit at M-8/Davison Freeway.
- Drivers are advised to detour via westbound I-96 and use exits such as Evergreen Road/Outer Drive to turn around and access eastbound I-96.
- Repairs are expected to take roughly one week, and MDOT is posting ongoing updates, with local footage showing water pooling near the affected shoulder.
