BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — The Michigan State Police are asking drivers to stay off I-94 in both directions, which is nearly 125 miles of freeway.

MSP says that they need time to clear several accidents along the I-94 corridor between New Buffalo and Battle Creek.

They are asking that drivers not use the freeway until 4 p.m. or later so they can clear the roadways and reopen sections of the freeway.

This is not a travel ban, but instead a request by police.

Blizzard conditions are worsening. We need motorists to stay off I-94 both directions between (Berrien) New Buffalo & (Calhoun) Battle Creek until 4pm or later. Request only, not an order. Units need time to clear roadway of numerous crashes. Thank you. #stayhome https://t.co/ml12u8OCXQ
