July 26, 2021 -- The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is planning a three-year project to rebuild 11 miles of I-94 in Berrien County from I-94 Business Loop (BL) (Red Arrow Highway) to Britain Avenue. MDOT has released a video on YouTube to help explain this Rebuilding Michigan project.
MDOT currently is planning the project to rebuild I-94 from west of the interchange with I-94 Business Loop, known locally as Red Arrow Highway, to Britain Avenue, a six-lane section divided freeway with an annual average daily traffic volume of 63,000 vehicles. In addition to rebuilding this section of I-94, work also includes replacing four bridges, and improving seven additional bridges.
