Pipestone Road at I-94 in the Benton Harbor area will be closed for a few weeks in November as the Michigan Department of Transportation repairs the eastbound I-94 bridge over Pipestone and removes equipment used to build a temporary lane. The work is all part of the I-94 rebuilding project between Red Arrow Highway and Britain Avenue set for 2023 and 2024. MDOT says starting Monday, drivers can expect single-lane closures on eastbound and westbound I-94, while Pipestone Road will be closed and detoured in the area of the highway. The Pipestone detours will take northbound drivers on Pipestone to eastbound I-94, westbound Napier Avenue, and westbound I-94 back to northbound Pipestone Road. Southbound Pipestone divers will be detoured to westbound I-94, southbound M-139, and eastbound I-94 back to southbound Pipestone Road. The work starting Monday is expected to continue through November 18. The project is intended to widen the freeway and improve the driving surface.
