Segment 3
Starting at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 9, southbound I-75 will have only one lane open from I-696 to 8 Mile Road as crews will shift traffic onto the newly reconstructed southbound lanes. Crews will resume two lanes of traffic in each direction by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
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 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

I-75 Lane and Ramp Closure Updates
Thank you for your continued patience.
Pardon our Noise: for the residents that live in the vicinity of the Bellaire Pedestrian Bridge or the Stephenson Road Crossover Bridge. Demo will begin immediately following the freeway closure on Friday evening, September 10th and continue through the weekend.
Fast facts:
Weather permitting, bridge beam setting and overpass demolition will require both directions of I-75 to be closed between M-102 (Eight Mile Road) and the I-75 Business Loop (Square Lake Road). The weekend closure is needed to allow crews to safely demolish the Stephenson Highway and Bellaire pedestrian bridges above I-75 and set bridge beams on the 11 Mile Road overpass.
The weekend closure will begin at 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, and ends by 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 13. The southbound lanes will reopen by 8 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 12, to accommodate traffic heading to Ford Field.
During the closure, northbound I-75 traffic will be detoured west on 8 Mile Road to northbound M-1 (Woodward Avenue), then eastbound Square Lake Road back to northbound I-75. Traffic will be able to access northbound I-75 from 14 Mile Road and points north. Southbound I-75 traffic will use westbound Square Lake Road to southbound M-1, then eastbound 8 Mile Road back to southbound I-75.
Prior to the freeway closure, crews will begin closing ramps at 9 p.m. and start freeway lane closures at 10 p.m. All ramps to northbound I-75 will be closed from Davison Freeway to 12 Mile Road. All ramps to southbound I-75 will be closed from M-59 to 9 Mile Road.
Fast facts:
Pavement and barrier wall repair will begin Friday afternoon on the northbound I-75 ramps to eastbound and westbound I-696. The ramps will close at Noon Friday, Sept. 10, and will reopen Oct. 1, weather permitting.
The detour for the northbound I-75 ramp to eastbound I-696 will use eastbound M-102 (Eight Mile Road) to northbound M-53 (Van Dyke Avenue) back to eastbound I-696. Northbound I-75 traffic heading for westbound I-696 will follow westbound M-102 to northbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway) back to westbound I-696.
Drivers are reminded the northbound I-75 exit ramps to 9 Mile/John R. Road and 12 Mile Road are open.

The following lane and ramp closures will be in place on Friday, August 13th
Completion of the work will be contingent upon the weather.
Fast facts:
Contracting crews have reopened a second lane on northbound I-75 near 11 Mile Road in the city of Madison Heights. This change now restores the northbound side of the freeway back to its configuration prior to the voids that were discovered on Friday, July 30.
Currently, both directions of I-75 have two lanes open between 8 Mile and 13 Mile roads as crews continue to rebuild pavement and bridges on the I-75 modernization project in Oakland County.
The northbound I-75 service drive remains closed from 11 Mile Road to Gardenia Avenue. Currently, there is not an estimate on when that section of the service drive will reopen.
The voids appeared when crews were mining for a drainage tunnel under the northbound service drive near 11 1/2 Mile Road. The operation affected the pavement of the northbound lanes and the service drive. This section of northbound I-75 and the service drive will be rebuilt in 2022.
Fast facts:
Contracting crews have repaired and paved the left and center lanes of northbound I-75 near 11 Mile Road in the city of Madison Heights. The northbound lanes in the area were closed as crews worked to repair voids under the pavement that were discovered on Friday, July 30.
The center lane will remain closed as crews continue to work on repairs to the damaged section of the freeway. It is anticipated the center lane will reopen to traffic by the end of the week.
The northbound I-75 service drive remains closed from 11 Mile Road to Gardenia Avenue. Currently, there is not an estimate on when that section of the service drive will reopen.
The voids appeared when crews were mining for a drainage tunnel under the northbound service drive near 11 1/2 Mile Road. The operation affected the pavement of the northbound lanes and the service drive. This section of northbound I-75 will be rebuilt in 2022 as part of the modernization project.
Southbound I-75 single lane closure has been lifted from Big Beaver Road to I-696, resuming the two-lane traffic pattern previously in place. Northbound I-75 from I-696 to 12 Mile Road will remain closed through Wednesday afternoon, August 4th. Motorists can use westbound I-696 to Woodward Avenue to avoid the northbound I-75 closure. Thank you for your continued patience as crews work to repair the roadway.
The existing single lane closure on southbound I-75 starting at Crooks Road/Corporate Drive will be extended to the I-696 Interchange through the weekend as crews work on the sinkhole that has developed near 11 Mile Road. Thank your for your continued patience.
Northbound I-75 will remain closed from I-696 to 12 Mile Road as crews work to investigate a sinkhole that has developed. Motorists can access northbound I-75 at 12 Mile Road during this closure. Thank you for your patience.
Eastbound and Westbound 12 Mile Road will have left lanes closed near the I-75 entrance and exit ramps on Wednesday, July 28th, from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. as crews are working in the area. Completion of this work is weather dependent.
Currently under construction, one of the major aspects of the I-75 Modernization project is the 4-mile long drainage tunnel. This tunnel is 100 feet underground and will run along I-75’s northbound service drive between 8 Mile and 12 Mile Roads. This tunnel will provide storage and conveyance to help avoid future flooding in the depressed portion of the freeway. Stormwater collected in the tunnel will be screened to remove debris and allow the water to flow to treatment facilities. These facilities will provide treatment and additional screening to ensure the discharged water is safe for the public.
Building of the tunnel began in the Fall of 2019 and is scheduled to continue through 2022. The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), named Eliza, was launched last year and has now traveled over 6,205-feet north from the I-696 Shaft Site (northeast corner of the I-75/I-696 interchange), placing her near Farnum Avenue and the northbound service drive intersection. For more information on Eliza and the need/benefits of the drainage tunnel please visit our Project Highlights page http://modernize75.com/Project-Highlights-Tunnel.
The weekend of July 9-11th, I-75 was closed as crews worked to demolish the 11 Mile Road Bridge. In this time lapse video you can see as crews begin staging for the work on Friday, then remove the concrete and beams, and conduct cleanup before reopening the freeway to traffic on Sunday. Once the roadway was reopened, crews began working on excavating the pier in the median and the service drive slope as they continue to make progress on the removal of the structure.
Eastbound I-696 to the northbound I-75 Freeway will have a left stationary shoulder closure continuously from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 14th until Wednesday, July 28th.
Westbound I2 Mile Road from Dartmouth St. to Stephenson Highway will have a single left lane stationary closure from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily Thursday, July 15th, and Friday, July 16th. Two lanes will remain open.

Reminder – I-75 will be closed between I-75 Business Loop (Square Lake Road) and M-102 (8 Mile Road) starting at 11 p.m. Friday and ending by 5 a.m. Monday. Local traffic will be able to access northbound I-75 at 14 Mile Road.
IMPORTANT NOTE – 11 Mile Road will begin closing at noon today to begin the demolition process that will happen on that bridge this weekend. Motorists will be detoured to 12 Mile Road; however we have found out that the existing closure on 12 Mile Road west of Stephenson Hwy will not be able to be lifted until early next week. As an alternate, motorists who would like to continue westbound can use 13 Mile Road. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Southbound lanes of I-75 between 8 Mile Road and the I-696 Interchange continue to make progress in their reconstruction. In this flyover you can see the freshly cured concrete near the Harry Avenue Pedestrian Bridge, the concrete being laid between the Highland Avenue Pedestrian Bridge and John R Road, as well as the roadway being prepared for concrete placement near 9 Mile Road. In addition, you can see the progress being made on the barrier walls, pedestrian bridges, and the Shevlin Avenue Bridge.
Please pardon our noise for this weekend's work: For those that live in the vicinity of the 11 Mile Road Bridge and Bellaire Pedestrian Bridges, demolition will begin at 11 p.m. Friday and continue during the overnight hours.
**11 Mile Road bridge over I-75 will close starting at 12 noon on Friday the 9th, which will require the closing of the ramps at that time. Once the freeway reopens on Monday, the ramps at 11 Mile will remain closed, with the exception of Fourth Avenue access to southbound I-75. That ramp will remain open during the initial phase of the replacement work and is expected to close later this summer. This closure will be in place through November 2021. **

BACKGROUND:
Originally planned to replace the existing interchange at I-75/12 Mile Road, MDOT and OCP have revised the design to incorporate a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). This innovative design will improve safety and traffic flow at this busy interchange. To build a majority of the DDI in one season, 12 Mile Road will be closed to through-traffic under I-75 from March to November 2022. During the rebuilding, local access will be maintained to businesses.
Segment 3 of the I-75 modernization project is a multi-year rebuilding effort on more than 5 miles of pavement, replacing bridges, installing retaining and noise walls, and building a state-of-the-art drainage tunnel between M-102 (Eight Mile Road) and 13 Mile Road. To view the public meeting materials after the event and to learn more about the I-75 modernization project, visit www.modernize75.com.
On Wednesday, June 2nd and Thursday, June 3rd starting at 7:00 a.m. crews will close the westbound 12 Mile Road entrance ramps to both northbound and southbound I-75. In addition, an alternating single lane closure will be in place on 12 Mile Road under I-75. These closures will be in place through 5:00 p.m. each day.

Once completed, how does the Drainage and Storage Tunnel work?
Storm water is collected from the I-75 freeway and service drives in a network of pipes that direct flows into seven “drop shafts” (large pipes). These shafts connect to the tunnel below, where the storm water then flows north to a new pump station just northeast of the I-75 and 12 Mile Road interchange. The pump station lifts the water nearly 100-feet and discharges it into the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner (OCWRC) Retention Treatment Facility.
For more information on the drainage tunnel please visit our Project Highlights page http://modernize75.com/Project-Highlights-Tunnel.

Beginning at 9 a.m. and ending by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 25, the northbound I-75 exit ramp to 9 Mile Road will be closed for work on the Highland Ave bridge.
In this flyover you can see the work going into the rebuilding of the southbound lanes of I-75 from 8 Mile Road to Shelvin Avenue. With all traffic now using the recently rebuilt northbound lanes, crews are able to work on the southbound lanes and service drive to reopen this area by the end of November 2021. This also gives crews an opportunity to complete the painting on structures like the Meyers Avenue Bridge and Harry Avenue Pedestrian Bridge that were rebuilt in 2020. This video also gives a great view of the progress being made on the Shevlin Avenue Bridge that is set to reopen this summer.
Fast facts:
Weather permitting, bridge demolition, beam setting, and substructure work will require southbound I-75 to be closed in sections from I-696 to I-94, and northbound I-75 to be closed from M-102 (Eight Mile Road) to I-696. These closures will begin at 9 p.m. Friday, May 14, and end by 5 a.m. Monday, May 17. One lane of southbound I-75 will remain open from M-102 to M-8 (Davison Freeway) for local traffic.
Further north, 13 Mile Road will be closed under I-75 to allow crews to safely set new bridges beams on the bridge that carries southbound I-75 over 13 Mile Road. The closure, between Molly and Concord drives, starts at 9 p.m. Friday, May 14, and ends by 5 a.m. Monday, May 17. During the closure, traffic will be detoured to 12 Mile Road.

Although much of the mainline work has stopped for the season, there is still progress being made along the service drives and embankments. Check out this flyover footage from earlier this month to see how it is coming along.
Southbound I-75 from I-696 to Woodward Heights will have a daily single left lane stationary closure Tuesday, December 22nd at 10 a.m. until Wednesday, December 23rd at 2 p.m.
Southbound I-75 from Woodward Heights to 9 Mile Road will also have a daily double left lane stationary closure during this time.
Crews will be repairing pavement in these areas. Completion of the work will be contingent upon the weather.
We recently shared footage of the progression of the vehicular bridge over I-75 at Meyers Avenue; in this video you can see the progress of a pedestrian crossing. The Harry Avenue Pedestrian bridge was demolished in the spring of 2020 and rebuilt for use by the fall. The pedestrian bridges throughout the corridor are a vital part of the community, and we are very happy to see the new structures being used.
As part of the corridor modernization, vehicle and pedestrian crossings are being replaced. In this Meyers Avenue bridge video, you can see the construction progression from the existing structure demolition, to rebuilding the new structure, and finally reopening the bridge to traffic.
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:
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:
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. Stay connected with the project by following us on Facebook and Twitter or subscribe to our email list for announcements http://www.modernize75.com/find-information/contact-us/.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) today released a video on YouTube updating some of the state-of-the-art advancements included on the current I-75 modernization project in Oakland County.
In addition to a brief overview, the I-75 modernization project video explains the benefits of the new diverging diamond interchanges (DDI) being built at 14 Mile and Big Beaver roads. Several DDIs have recently been built in the state, including one in Oakland County at the I-75/University Drive interchange in Auburn Hills. MDOT has found these interchanges improve driver safety by eliminating conflict points, such as turning in front of oncoming traffic.
The most unique characteristic of the project, a 4-mile-long drainage tunnel, is featured. This tunnel is being built 100 feet below the northbound service drive from just north of Meyers Avenue to just north of 12 Mile Road. When completed, the drainage tunnel will collect rainwater from the freeway and surface street structures through drainage shafts and it will store and strategically discharge the collected water into the county drain located near 12 Mile Road. This unique design will prevent freeway and local community flooding issues during heavy rain events.
As a follow-up to our October update on Eliza, we wanted to share the latest information. Eliza has now traveled over 500-ft north from the I-696 Shaft Site (northeast corner of the I-75/I-696 interchange), placing her near the northbound service drive and Brockton Avenue intersection. Eliza will continue to head north towards the 12 Mile Road Pump Station Shaft that is currently under construction. Since October, crews installed the remaining sections of “trailing equipment” that includes electrical, hydraulics, communication and ventilation lines. Eliza will continue her journey to the 12 Mile Road Pump Station Shaft working 20 hours a day. Once she arrives at the 12 Mile Road Pump Station Shaft in the summer of 2021 she will be relocated back to the I-696 Shaft Site and relaunched, heading south to the Meyers Avenue Shaft Site, which is anticipated to take nine months to complete.

Reminder: If you are commuting on I-75 through Oakland County in the coming days, all traffic on I-75 from 8 Mile Road to Adams Road is sharing one side of the freeway with two lanes open in each direction. Due to this configuration and the work going on, many ramps to and from I-75 between 8 Mile and Adams Roads are closed. As you plan your commute, please check out the “Now Open” tab on the home page of our website at http://www.modernize75.com/ for details on what ramps are currently open. You can also check out the interactive map on the MDOT MiDrive site https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/MiDrive/map.
Also, if you’re traveling I-75 looking to go east or west on I-696, remember northbound access is not available. To access eastbound I-696 motorists can exit at 8 Mile Road eastbound to northbound Van Dyke. To access westbound I-696 motorists can exit at 8 Mile Road westbound to northbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway).

Oakland Corridor Partners in cooperation with MDOT, is pleased to announce a contest to name our state-of-the-art Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). The TBM will be used to construct a four mile long storage and drainage tunnel from Meyers Avenue to just north of 12 Mile Road approximately 100 feet below the I-75 freeway in Oakland County. The tunnel’s purpose is to alleviate flooding in the freeway corridor such as was experienced in 2014. In keeping with underground construction custom, we are soliciting the public’s help in selecting a name for the TBM. The name will honor a local woman who has made a difference in the world and in particular Oakland County.
If you would like to participate in the contest, please follow this link TBM Naming Contest for more information. The contest will close on March 31, 2020 so please make your choice soon!
