DESCRIPTION:
The I-96 Flex Route is a project where a section of freeway on I-96 is being modified to utilize the shoulder lanes as additional travel lanes during peak traffic hours, essentially creating "flex lanes" that can be dynamically opened and closed depending on traffic conditions. The project is aimed at reducing congestion on this busy stretch of highway. The project includes ramp metering and advanced traffic management systems to control the flow of traffic efficiently.
