Eliza Update – Jan 2021
Eliza has been busy! Check out these images of the shaft site at I-696 and our first look inside the tunnel. Pictured in the photo are the rail tracks that help miners move materials safely in and out of the tunnel as Eliza bores through the ground. The other photo shows a miner working on the track system inside of the tunnel, as well as the overhead lighting and ventilation pipe to provide fresh air for the workers underground; and utility lines that provide water, compressed air and electricity to Eliza. Eliza has now traveled over 1,300-ft north from the I-696 Shaft Site (northeast corner of the I-75/I-696 interchange), placing her just north of the Hudson Avenue and northbound service drive intersection. For more information on Eliza and the drainage tunnel please visit our Project Highlights page http://modernize75.com/Project-Highlights-Tunnel.

What is coming for 2021 Construction Season
The 2021 construction season has a lot of improvements in store throughout the project! Although the schedule is subject to change, some of the planned work planned for next year includes:
North of M-102 (8 Mile Road) to I-696:
- The southbound lanes of the I-75 freeway and the southbound service drive will be rebuilt
- Shevlin Avenue Bridge will be rebuilt
- Pedestrian Bridges to be rebuilt: Highland Avenue and Browning Avenue
- The drainage tunnel work will continue
- Sound wall construction along SB I-75
To achieve this, southbound I-75 traffic from I-696 to 8 Mile Road will be shifted to the newly completed northbound lanes. The configuration will mimic what was done in 2020 with a traffic shift to maintain two lanes in each direction.
North of I-696 to Coolidge Highway:
- Rebuilding southbound I-75 from north of 13 Mile to north of 12 Mile roads, including replacing the southbound I-75 bridge over 13 Mile Road.
- The 11 Mile Road vehicular bridge and Bellaire pedestrian bridge will be rebuilt
- Sound wall construction work will be continued in the vicinity of Wattles Road
- Signal installation and completion of the diverging diamond interchange at Big Beaver and 14 Mile Roads
- Landscaping from 13 Mile Road to Coolidge Highway
- Final (Punch-list) items to complete the section between 13 Mile and Coolidge Highway
An open house is tentatively scheduled for February 2021 to primarily address the 2021 active construction work, ahead of the construction season, where additional details will be provided.
