MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., August 12, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Construction begins today on Segment 3 of I-75 to improve a 5.5-mile section of interstate highway through Oakland County. Segment 3 is the final piece of the almost 18-mile MDOT I-75 Modernization Program. OCP has partnered with MDOT on this vital project and through our innovative contracting approach, will bring final completion of the facility ten years earlier than previously planned.

Reminder: Segment 3 of the I-75 modernization project in Oakland County begins Sunday, Aug. 11

Weather permitting, work on segment 3 of the I-75 modernization project in Oakland County will begin on Sunday, Aug. 11. Initially, the construction impacts will begin on the southbound lanes from 11 Mile to 8 Mile roads as crews begin preparations for a multi-year project to rebuild more than 5 miles of pavement, replace 22 bridges, construct retaining walls, and install new drainage infrastructure.    

Starting at 3 p.m. Aug. 11, the right lane of southbound I-75 will be closed from 13 Mile to 8 Mile roads in order for crews to widen the shoulder for an eventual traffic shift. In addition to the single-lane closure, crews will close the following ramps:

            - Westbound I-696 ramp to southbound I-75,

            - Southbound I-75 exit to 8 Mile Road,

            - Southbound I-75 exit to 9 Mile Road,

            - 9 Mile Road entrance ramp to southbound I-75.

Other 2019 work includes the construction of temporary median crossovers, the removal of the Dallas Road overpass above I-75, and work on the northbound service drive.        

In 2020, all I-75 traffic will be on the southbound side of the freeway between 11 Mile and 8 Mile roads with two lanes open in each direction separated by a temporary concrete barrier. This will allow for the rebuilding of the northbound lanes from 8 Mile Road to I-696, along with all northbound ramps, retaining walls and portions of the northbound service drive.
