On Wednesday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin work next week on 15 miles of road resurfacing and 11 bridge repair projects on I-75 from M-15 in Oakland County to the Genesee County line. Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to support 1,936 jobs.
“Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to drive economic activity, help Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school, and run errands safely,” said Governor Whitmer.
“Through the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired, or replaced nearly 20,000 lane miles of state-owned roads and 1,400 bridges since I took office, supporting 89,000 jobs without raising taxes by a dime. This project we are kicking off in Oakland County will support nearly 1,936 jobs and make a difference for families and small businesses. I’m proud of what we have accomplished through my Rebuilding Michigan program and bipartisan Building Michigan Together plan, and I look forward to building on this progress. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done.”
MDOT is investing approximately $160 million to resurface and repair I-75 from M-15 (Ortonville Road) to the Oakland/Genesee county line. This project includes resurfacing I-75, repairing 11 bridges, drainage improvements, culvert replacements, signs, and guardrail. Various work will be performed in different locations with different schedules throughout the 15 miles over four years. ?Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to support 1,936 jobs.
Beginning 7 a.m. Monday, May 22, Belford Road, Davisburg Road, and Holcomb Road will all be closed over I-75 for bridge repairs through late July. I-75 will remain open under these roads although there may be lane closures, as needed, for the bridge work above.
Beginning Tuesday, May 30, through late fall, temporary crossovers will be built along with bridge work and pavement repairs on northbound and southbound I-75 between M-15 (Ortonville Road) to the county line. The schedule for daytime and nighttime work will be announced closer to the start date. The current plan is to leave two lanes open, unless absolutely necessary for isolated work.
In 2024, work will include milling and resurfacing northbound I-75 from M-15 to the county line. There will be two lanes of northbound and southbound traffic sharing the existing southbound roadway.
In 2025, milling and resurfacing will occur on southbound I-75 from the county line to M-15. Traffic will share the existing northbound roadway.
In 2026, work will include removal of the temporary crossovers and remaining miscellaneous activity.
