North of I-696 to North of 13 Mile Road Flyover – May 2022
In our latest flyover video, you can see the progress at the I-75/I-696 "Braid" ramps, the progress at Gardenia Avenue bridge (the beams are set and crews are preparing to pour the new concrete), a look at the 12 Mile Road DDI progress, and the work happening at the 13 Mile Road bridge replacement. There has been a lot of progress since our last video, and we look forward to sharing more.
Please continue to follow progress of the project on our website and social media channels by following @Modernize75 on Facebook and Twitter.

Coming soon to Northbound I-75: a "Braid" Concept for the I-696 and 11 Mile Ramps
The existing entrance ramp from I-696 to northbound I-75 and the I-75 exit ramp to 11 Mile Road requires traffic to merge and weave to get to their destination roadways, which frequently causes back-ups and crashes due to the volume of traffic making these movements.
The new design will reconfigure these ramps using a “Braid” design, eliminating the weave that currently occurs by separating the movements. The northbound I-75 exit ramp to 11 Mile Road will braid under the new I-696 bridge to the northbound service drive. The incoming I-696 traffic to northbound I-75 will utilize the new bridge over the 11 Mile exit ramp for a safer connection. See below graphic for an illustration on these new movements.
To allow for this change, the Dallas Avenue Bridge had to be removed (2019), and temporary closures occurred this year on the ramps from I-696 (both eastbound and westbound) and on the northbound I-75 exit ramp to 11 Mile Road. Work on this safer ramp design is anticipated to be completed by mid-November 2022.
