Big Beaver and 14 Mile Road DDI Updates (4/13/2021)
The Big Beaver Road DDI is progressing as crews have restrictions in place to install the ADA ramps for pedestrians within the interchange. Once complete, the interchange will be safer for all!
The left lane of eastbound and westbound 14 Mile Road will remain closed east of I-75 through mid-summer as crews await equipment arrival to complete the required signal installation and open all lanes.
DDI’s are a safer option for both motorists and pedestrians. To learn more about DDI’s including how to navigate them please visit our Project Highlights - DDI Edition page under “Travel I-75”. Stay up-to-date with information about the project by signing for email blasts or following our social media channels.

Thank you for your support!
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.

Bellaire Avenue Pedestrian Bridge Progress Video – Aug 2021
Throughout the corridor, access for pedestrians and cyclists has continued to be a priority. This project has already rebuilt and reopened five pedestrian bridges, providing safer connectivity for the community. In our latest video, check out some interesting information regarding our sixth pedestrian bridge, at Bellaire Avenue, as crews work to complete and open that bridge later this season.

Stephenson Highway Reconfiguration
Stephenson Highway bridge over I-75 was demolished in mid-September and will not be replaced. The I-75 Modernization project will rebuild and convert Stephenson Highway to handle two-way traffic north of Gardenia Avenue. Once complete, the northbound I-75 service drive traffic will turn left (to head west) at Gardenia Avenue and cross over I-75 and then turn right (to head north) at Stephenson Highway on the new two way section toward 12 Mile Road. This work is currently scheduled to be completed during the 2022 construction season in conjunction with the replacement of the Gardenia Avenue bridge. The ultimate configuration of the Gardenia Avenue bridge and Stephenson Highway in this area can be found at the following link https://www.modernize75.com/media/zpciqqbk/gardenia-avenue-bridge-reconfiguration-to-accommodate-northbound-stephenson-highway.pdf
