Rainy weather Wednesday has caused the Michigan Department of Transportation to cancel an overnight lane closure planned for 9 p.m. Wednesday to 5 a.m. Thursday on eastbound Interstate 94 in southeast Ann Arbor.

The closure was scheduled for the right lane and right shoulder of the road just east of the U.S. 23 interchange and east of the Carpenter Road overpass near mile marker 180.

Lane closures in the same location scheduled for 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Thursday and Friday nights this week will go as planned, but are also dependent on cooperative weather conditions, said Kari Arend, MDOT spokeswoman.

The lane closures are a part of MDOT's ongoing project to replace freeway signs with signs with bigger fonts and higher reflectivity so they can be seen better at night. MDOT expects to complete its sign replacement work on Washtenaw County freeways this month.
