The eastbound and westbound ramps to north and southbound I-75 at 12 Mile Road will have a daily single lane left and right shoulder stationary closure Wednesday, August 12 at 9 a.m. until Thursday, August 13 at 3 p.m.

Crews will close the outside lanes at the same time, and then the inside lanes on each bound will close at the same time.

In this video, you can see the main tunnel construction site located at the northeast quadrant of the I-75/I-696 interchange. Eliza – the tunnel boring machine (TBM) started mining this June from this shaft and will mine (dig) her way north from the I-696 interchange to a proposed pump station located just north of 12 Mile Road.  The TBM will then be removed and relaunched from the I-696 construction site south to a shaft site located near Meyers Ave. To learn more about Eliza, and the Shaft Site, here: http://www.modernize75.com/Project-Highlights-Tunnel

On July 14th the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) “Eliza” started mining the 4-mile long stormwater drainage tunnel that will lie about 100-ft beneath the Northbound I-75 Service Drive between 8 Mile Road and 12 Mile Road.  Eliza is expected to mine approximately 250-ft of soil a week!  This photo shows Eliza at the bottom of the I-696 Shaft just after starting her journey north under the I-75 Northbound Service Drive.  The rotating cutter head of the TBM is just outside the shaft in the soil (on the left in the photo), with the TBM shields still visible.
