Drivers navigating the US-127 and I-496 interchange in the Lansing area will need to plan for detours over the next two days as several ramps close for ongoing repair work connected to the larger US-127 rebuilding project.

According to transportation officials, the closures will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and include the ramps from US-127 southbound to Trowbridge Road, I-496 eastbound to Trowbridge Road, and Howard and Kalamazoo streets to US-127 southbound. The work is part of the continuing reconstruction effort stretching from I-69 to Lake Lansing Road.

Meanwhile, the Lansing City Council is expected to consider proposed downtown parking changes during its meeting Monday night. The proposal would delay the start of daily parking enforcement from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. while also increasing fines for parking meter violations. Drivers who pay citations before midnight on the day they are issued could qualify for reduced penalties. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Lansing City Hall.

Officials are also continuing to assess damage following a major apartment fire Saturday night at the Village at Chandler Crossing in Bath Township. Fire crews responded around 8:20 p.m. after flames spread across the roof of the building. Project manager Will Dyer said the fire started from a grill located on a third-floor balcony. Everyone inside escaped safely, but the building has been declared a total loss and will need to be demolished. Approximately 50 students were displaced. Staff members are now working to secure temporary housing for residents affected by the fire.

Gas prices may also continue climbing across the Midwest following renewed tensions involving the United States and Iran. GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan warned diesel prices in parts of the Great Lakes region are approaching seven dollars per gallon, with truck drivers expected to feel the largest impact if prices remain elevated for an extended period.

Elsewhere in Michigan, authorities are investigating two separate weekend shootings that left multiple people injured. In Jackson, four people in their 20s were shot Saturday, including one person critically injured. On the state’s west side, six people were hurt in Muskegon after an altercation at a post-prom gathering led to gunfire and vehicles striking several victims. No arrests had been announced in either incident as of Sunday night.

On Sunday, Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency following a major water main break in Oakland County. The rupture of a 42-inch water line prompted boil water advisories for several communities, including Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Rochester Hills and Orion Township.

Communities across the Lansing area also celebrated Mother’s Day with several local events Sunday. At Potter Park Zoo, mothers received free admission, while the Brand New Festival in Williamston featured relaxation activities including massages and meditation sessions.
