The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that, given winter weather predicted for earlier this week, an overnight, full closure on I-96 at Aurelius Road in Lansing has been rescheduled for the night of Wednesday, March 2. The closure is needed so crews can remove the bridge deck at Aurelius Road over I-96 and will take place between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. the following day, weather depending.
