HOV
NOW OPEN (effective 10/24/2023)
The High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes were added as an additional inside lane in each direction on I-75 between 12 Mile Road and South Boulevard (approximately 14 miles) in Oakland, County. This is the first of its kind in Michigan!
HOV lanes require at least two human occupants inside the vehicle when used on weekdays between 6-9 AM and 3-6 PM. The exception is motorcycles, transit buses and police and emergency vehicles. Outside of those designated weekday hours the lanes are available for all motorists regardless of the number of occupants.
State and local police will monitor safe movement in and out of the HOV lane and to ensure drivers have the correct number of people. Civil infractions will be handed out to violators.

Nearby MDOT Projects:
- I-75 /M-102 (8 Mile Road) Feasibility Study MDOT is undertaking a feasibility study, also known as an early preliminary engineering (EPE) study, for the I-75/M-102 (8 Mile Road) interchange in the cities of Detroit and Hazel Park. The existing interchange contains aging infrastructure built in 1969. Since it was originally built, traffic patterns and land uses have changed. MDOT is evaluating the interchange to improve the transportation system, connectivity, and aesthetics; reduce long-term maintenance costs; and complement the I-75 modernization project north of 8 Mile Road.
- I-94 Modernization Project (from east of the I-96/I-94 interchange to east of Conner Avenue)

HOV Lanes Enforcement
With the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes now open along I-75 in Oakland County, it is important to know that both state and local police will monitor for safe movement in and out of the HOV lane and to ensure drivers have the correct number of occupants.
Drivers signaled by police to pull over should not stop in the HOV lane, rather they should continue at safe speed and pull over as directed by the police.
HOV Lane Facts:
- HOV Lanes are located on I-75 between 12 Mile Road and South Boulevard
- HOV lanes will operate Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- During those times, HOV lanes are open to motorists with 2 or more occupants, or those driving on a motorcycle.
- Outside of those hours, all motorists are welcome to use this additional lane.
Take a look at our video for more information on who can use the lanes, how to enter/exit them, and what to do if you are signaled to pull over.

Drainage Tunnel Preparing to Accept Water
Now that the tunnel boring machine (TBM) reached the Meyers Avenue Pump Station and is being removed from the ground, crews will begin completing work on the drop shafts throughout the corridor and finalize the tunnel drainage system so it can begin accepting water.
We have put together this graphic to show what will happen when rain hits the roadway and makes its way to and through the drainage tunnel. It is important to emphasize that the tunnel is not yet accepting water, as work to finalize the tunnel and pump station will continue throughout 2023.
Learn more about the tunnel and TBM on our website: http://modernize75.com/Project-Highlights-Tunnel
