Starting at 9 a.m. and ending by 3 p.m. on Sat. Oct. 23, the right lane of southbound I-75 from Corporate Drive to Wattles, and the right lane of northbound I-75 from Livernois to Wattles will be closed for landscaping work.  

Weather permitting, landscaping crews will begin vegetation planting along I-75 in Oakland County during the months of October, November, and December. For healthy planting sustainability, additional work will take place in the spring. The plantings will occur approximately along the 8-mile stretch of I-75 between Coolidge Highway and 14 Mile Rd. The plantings are part of the freeway modernization project that reconstructed a section of I-75 during the 2019 and 2020 construction seasons. In order to safely unload equipment and vegetation, there will be intermittent shoulder and single-lane closures along northbound and southbound I-75 during non-peak travel hours.

Thank you for your continued patience and support of the I-75 Modernization Project.  We have made great progress throughout Segment 2 (North of 13 Mile to North of Coolidge Highway), including rebuilding bridges at Coolidge Highway, Crooks Road/Corporate Drive, Long Lake Road, Wattles Road, Big Beaver Road, Livernois Road, Rochester Road, Maple Road, and 14 Mile Road.  In addition, we have opened two new Diverging Diamond Interchanges at Big Beaver Road and 14 Mile Roads that provide improved safety and mobility for motorists and pedestrians, as well as installed various Intelligent Transportation Systems to provide safer, coordinated, and ‘smarter’ use of transport networks.  We have also expanded the freeway capacity for the future opening of a part-time High-Occupancy Vehicle lane (planned to open as part of the Segment 3 work in late 2023). 

As crews focus on punchlist and final closeout items along Segment 2 (North of 13 Mile to North of Coolidge Highway) we will be discontinuing email blasts for Segment 2.  If you wish to receive emails regarding Segment 3 (8 Mile Road/M-102 to North of 13 Mile Road, as well as the future HOV opening information), and are not already signed up to receive these notices, please sign up for our Segment 3 email blasts here Segment Updates | I-75 Modernization Project (modernize75.com).  

We also encourage you to follow our social media channels to stay up to date on the project.

Big Beaver Road Diverging Diamond Interchange – September 2021 

Crews will close the right lane of Northbound I-75 from Coolidge Highway to Adams Road as they remove the fill from the rumble strips.  This lane closure will be in place from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 30th. 

We are happy to announce that the 14 Mile Road Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) has now fully opened.  DDI’s are a safer option for both motorists and pedestrians and we have now fully opened both the Big Beaver Road and 14 Mile Road interchanges to motorists.  If you would like more information on DDI’s and how to navigate them please check out our project website I-75 Modernization Project (modernize75.com) or this video with an in-car view of how to drive a DDI https://vimeo.com/561110063/cc5631d047.   

The right lane of northbound I-75 will be closed from Crooks Road to Coolidge Highway starting at 8 a.m. on Monday, August 30th and continuing until 3 p.m. Friday, September 3 for punchlist work.  

Fast facts: 

• Northbound I-75 will be closed from 14 Mile to Big Beaver roads, while southbound I-75 will be closed from Big Beaver to Rochester roads.    
• The closures begin 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27, and end by 9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29.  
• The closures are needed to apply high-friction surface treatment to the sections of I-75 damaged during the July 12 tanker fire.       

Weather permitting, the application of a high-friction surface treatment will require crews to close a portion of northbound and southbound I-75 in Oakland County. Northbound I-75 will be closed from 14 Mile to Big Beaver roads, while southbound I-75 will be closed from Big Beaver to Rochester roads.    

The weekend closures will begin at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27, and end by 9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29. During the closures, northbound I-75 traffic will be detoured east on 14 Mile Road to northbound John R. Road, then westbound Big Beaver Road back to northbound I-75. In addition, the ramps at 12 Mile, 14 Mile and Rochester roads to northbound I-75 will be closed.  

Southbound I-75 traffic will be detoured via eastbound Big Beaver Road to southbound Rochester Road back to southbound I-75. The Big Beaver Road ramp to southbound I-75 will be closed.  

High-friction surface treatment is an epoxy-based product designed to improve traction for vehicles around the I-75 curve at Big Beaver Road. Epoxy will also be placed on the northbound I-75 bridge over 14 Mile Road.     

Press Release

During reconstruction of I-75, crews lengthened the bridge over Coolidge Highway for the potential future City of Troy enhancements on this local roadway.  This bridge lengthening also allowed the right turn lane to be extended on northbound Coolidge Highway to safely queue more vehicles to turn, which improved operations and safety at the Coolidge/Square Lake Road signalized intersection north of the overpass. 

Fast facts: 

• Repairs have been made to the I-75 pavement and median barrier wall that were damaged in the July 12 tanker crash and fire and the freeway will reopen later today.  
• Ramps that were closed for safety have reopened.      
• Wrap-up work remains and will be completed during off-peak hours.     

Freeway lanes and ramps will reopen on the damaged section of I-75 at Big Beaver Road in Troy by late afternoon. All southbound I-75 lanes will reopen at Big Beaver Road. Northbound I-75 will fully reopen except from 8 Mile Road to Wattles Road, where it will have only two lanes open. A right-lane closure remains in place for slope repairs that are unrelated to the July 12 tanker crash and fire that damaged the freeway and median barrier wall. The Rochester Road and Big Beaver Road ramps will also reopen.     

To safely rebuild the damaged sections, crews had both directions of I-75 reduced to one open lane. To minimize expected delays and for motorist safety, crews closed the entrance ramp at Rochester Road to northbound I-75 and the Big Beaver Road entrance ramps to southbound I-75.  

As crews continue to make progress on the repairs following the tanker fire on July 12^th, they will begin shifting traffic from the right lanes to the left.  Starting today, July 28^th crews will begin shifting traffic on both Northbound and Southbound lanes of I-75 near Big Beaver Road.  Once completed, one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction as crews work to rebuild the roadway.  Thank you for your continued patience.

There are many questions regarding what goes into the reopening of a freeway following a tanker fire.  On the recent episode of the “Talking Michigan Transportation” podcast, you can hear more about the coordination efforts involved, process for cleanup, and how MDOT was able to quickly mobilize a crew to begin repairs on I-75 at Big Beaver Road following the fire on July 12th. 

Talking Michigan Transportation - Reopening a major freeway after a tanker fire

We are pleased to say that crews have been able to reopen the ramps from 14 Mile Road to Northbound I-75 and the ramp from Crooks Road/Corporate Drive to Southbound I-75 following the tanker fire last week.  The ramps from Rochester Road to Northbound I-75 and Big Beaver to Southbound I-75 remain closed.

Fast facts:

• The July 12 tanker crash and fire resulted in significant damage to the freeway pavement and median barrier wall.
• The estimated cost to rebuild sections of I-75 lanes and wall is estimated at $1.5 million.    
• The repairs are anticipated to last six weeks.   

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that repairs to the damaged section of I-75 at Big Beaver Road in Troy is estimated at $1.5 million. All lanes of the freeway and a portion of the median barrier wall were damaged due to a July 12 tanker crash and fire. Those sections of pavement and barrier will be rebuilt, and all costs associated with the incident response, cleanup and repair will be submitted to the carrier's insurance company for reimbursement.    

Currently, I-75 traffic is maintained in the right lane of each direction to allow traffic to move on the freeway while crews rebuild the damaged left lanes, along with the concrete median wall that separates both directions of traffic. Afterward, crews will move to rebuild the right lanes. To minimize expected delays, crews will keep closed the entrance ramps at 14 Mile and Rochester roads to northbound I-75, and the entrance ramps at Crooks Road/Corporate Drive and Big Beaver Road entrance ramps to southbound I-75.

All lanes and ramps are expected to be reopened in six weeks.     

Crews will close northbound I-75 for 30 minutes tomorrow, July 16^th, at 9:00 a.m. to allow for delivery of materials for the tanker truck cleanup.  Additionally, crews will also close the NB I-75 to Rochester Rd exit ramp during this time.

Fast facts:

• The right lane on northbound I-75 has reopened at Big Beaver Road in Troy.
• The right lane on southbound I-75 reopened on Tuesday, July 13.    
• The July 12 tanker crash and fire resulted in significant damage to the freeway pavement and media barrier wall.  

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that the right lane of northbound I-75 has reopened at Big Beaver Road in the city of Troy. All lanes of the freeway have been closed due to a tanker crash that occurred Monday, July 12.  

The reopening of the right lane will allow traffic to move on the freeway while crews rebuild the damaged center and left lanes, along with the concrete median wall that separates both directions of traffic. To minimize expected delays, crews will keep the entrance ramps at 14 Mile and Rochester roads to northbound I-75 closed during repairs.

Once the repairs to the left and center lanes are complete, crews will then begin rebuilding the right lanes in each direction.    

Fast facts:

• Both directions of I-75 were closed at Big Beaver Road in Troy due to a tanker crash on July 12.   
• The tanker crash resulted in significant damage to the freeway pavement and barrier wall.  
• The right lane of southbound I-75 has reopened, a single-lane northbound is expected to open on Wednesday.      

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that the right lane of southbound I-75 has opened at Big Beaver Road in the city of Troy. All lanes of the freeway have been closed due to a tanker crash that occurred Monday, July 12.  

The reopening of the right lane will allow traffic to move on the freeway while crews rebuild the damaged center and left lanes, along with the barrier wall that separates both directions of traffic. In order to minimize expected delays, the entrance ramps to southbound I-75 will remain closed at Crooks and Big Beaver roads until the repair work is completed.

On northbound I-75, crews will reopen the right lane during the afternoon hours on Wednesday, July 14. This will allow for the rebuilding of the center and left lanes that were also significantly damaged during the crash. To minimize expected delays, crews will keep the entrance ramps at 14 Mile and Rochester roads closed during repairs.

Once the repairs to the left and center lanes are complete, crews will then begin rebuilding the right lanes in each direction.    

Due to a tanker fire, northbound I-75 is closed at Rochester Road and southbound is closed at Square Lake Road.   This closure will be in place for an undetermined amount of time as crews work to clean and assess the area.  Thank you for your patience.

The following lane restrictions will be in place beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 6:
