The Michigan Department of Transportation says crews will work all weekend to repair a stretch of eastbound I-94. A fuel tanker exploded on the freeway near Wyoming on Wednesday, severely damaging the pavement. M-DOT spokesperson Diane Cross tells WDET’s Pat Batcheller that an eight-mile stretch of the interstate is closed until further notice. Cross also warns drivers that 94 will be closed in both directions from 9:00 Friday to 5:00 am Monday for work related to the M1 Rail project.
