"The fact of the matter is, it's a safer operation during the day than it is overnight," he said. Rob Morosi, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation, said daytime snow delayed the start date, but the expected completion time is unchanged. MDOT originally planned to start construction Feb. In late fall 2020, the project is expected to be complete, with all traffic returned to normal. In 2020, the situation will be reversed, with all southbound traffic shifting to the newly rebuilt northbound side. Crews will overhaul the northbound side with an expected completion of Thanksgiving week, at which point all traffic on I-75 will return to normal for the winter. Once the traffic shift is in place, all northbound traffic on I-75 from 13 Mile to Coolidge will be shifted to the southbound side, where there will be two lanes open in each direction. These closures will be in place until all traffic is shifted to the southbound side late this month.Ĭlosure times and dates are subject to change and weather dependent.
The left lane of northbound I-75 will be closed for about a quarter mile at Big Beaver and a quarter mile at Coolidge Highway. On Wednesday, crews will make lane closures on the northbound side of the freeway to prepare for a traffic shift. On Tuesday around 8:30 a.m., two lanes will be closed on southbound I-75, and by the end of the day, the shoulder will be opened as a travel lane. Motorists have been spared construction delays on I-75 in Oakland County this week in exchange for some light wintry weather that has delayed the start of a $224 million overhaul.īut starting Friday, lane closures and construction will start, according to a media advisory from the I-75 Modernization Project.Ĭrews will close one lane of southbound I-75, leaving two open, until late November.īeginning Monday after 9 a.m., entrance ramps to southbound I-75 at Big Beaver and Rochester roads, in addition to the southbound I-75 exit to eastbound 14 Mile, will be closed until late November.
