OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — Construction crews will close both directions on Interstate 75 between U.S. 24 and Saginaw Road in northern Oakland County next weekend for a planned bridge demolition, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Crews will close both directions on the freeway at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4 to destroy the Rattalee Lake Road bridge over Interstate 75, officials said.

Officials expect the freeway will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 7. All traffic during the closure will be detoured onto Dixie Highway, officials said.
