Major I-75 Construction Project In Oakland County Begins Monday

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — Construction crews will close off multiple Interstate 75 ramps in northern Oakland County on Monday to begin a four-year repaving project, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's office announced.

Crews will repave and resurface 15 miles of Interstate 75 from Michigan 15 in Oakland County to the Genesee County line over the next four years, officials said.

Crews will also repair 11 bridges, as well as improving drainage, culvert replacements and adding new signs and guardrails during the course of the project, officials said.

At 7 a.m. Monday, May 22, crews will close Belford Road, Davisburg Road and Holcomb Road over Interstate 75 for bridge repairs through late July. The freeway will remain open during that time, but officials said drivers should expect occasional lane closures.

On the following Tuesday, May 30, crews will start building temporary crossovers in preparation for the road work, officials said.

Drivers should expect two lanes open in each direction on Interstate 75, unless additional closures are necessary, officials said.

Crews will start completely resurfacing northbound Interstate 75 in 2024, while the southbound lanes will start in 2025, officials said.

Any remaining miscellaneous repairs and removal of the temporary crossovers are scheduled for 2026.

The Michigan Department of Transportation has invested roughly $160 million in the project, which expects to support nearly 2,000 construction jobs, officials said.
