Interstate-75/Crooks Construction Begins July 29

Troy will be replacing the intersection of Interstate-75 and Crooks Road with funding from the Tri-Party Program.

Two-thirds of these funds come from Oakland County and the Road Commission for Oakland County, and one third from the city. Despite the intersection of I-75/Crooks being under the jurisdiction of the RCOC and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the city will be administering the project using Tri-Party funds that can only be applied to County roads.

Troy selected this intersection because of its poor condition and because it would not otherwise be done, except by the use of Tri-Party funds.
