Oakland County, Interstate 96 In Disarray Due To Fallen Electric Wires

Oakland County, Interstate 96 In Disarray Due To Fallen Electric Wires

In today’s hustle and bustle, an unexpected turn of events led to the highway of Oakland County, MI, Interstate 96 to be completely shut down this morning due to fallen power lines.

All the eastbound lanes on Interstate 96 at Milford Road, and all westbound lanes after Wixom Road have been closed off, due to the necessary precautions that need to be taken during the situation.

The reason for this sudden incident? A construction crane accidentally collided with the high-suspended power lines near Milford while constructing the road.

The involvement of a large construction instrument and live power lines makes it a dangerous situation, leading law enforcement to immediately block off the impacted part of the freeway.

Currently, the authorities are hoping to restore the situation and the normal power supply in the region by Friday afternoon. This implies that commuters will need to take alternative routes and arrangements until the area is cleared and safe for travel.

On a happier note, this doesn’t seem to be a long-term problem, and our beloved Interstate 96 should be running smoothly again once the power lines are up and secure.

So, buckle up, stay safe, and keep an eye on the road for any further, unexpected disruptions. Movie nights at home tonight?
