Depending on the weather conditions, MDOT expects to complete work on the east side of M-52 south of I-94 and begin work on the west side of M-52, south of I-94, according to the update.

Temporary traffic signals will continue to operate south of I-94 on M-52, maintaining one lane of alternating traffic.

On May 14, MDOT expects that this section of work will be completed and night work will begin along all ramps and the east side of M-52, north of I-94. During this time, all lanes of M-52 will be open to traffic south of I-94.

While work progresses on all ramps, traffic will be maintained. However, night work along the east side of M-52, north of I-94, will reduce traffic to one lane in each direction between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. During the day, M-52 will have all lanes open from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
