November 2022:The I-75 Modernization Project has now begun seasonal suspension. The freeway has been restored to three lanes in each direction and the ramps between 8 Mile Road and Square Lake Road have reopened for the winter months, except for the southbound I-75 ramps at 11 Mile Road. The 2023 construction season will kick off in late February and will focus on the southbound lanes/ramps from I-696 to north of 13 Mile Road.

2022 Construction Year in Review video
The I-75 Modernization Project Segment 3 construction began in 2019, with preparations beginning much earlier. The work in this segment has impacted the local community and those who commute the corridor, but the improvements from this project have been monumental.
In this video, we take a look at the work accomplished in 2022 as we journey through footage originally shot in 2011, comparing it to new footage showing the improvements at the improved I-75/I-696 interchange. Not only were the roadway and bridges improved in this area, but also a "braid" ramp was built that separates I-696 motorists headed to northbound I-75 over exiting northbound I-75 traffic to 11 Mile Road. We then journey through some footage showing the rebuilt Lincoln Avenue bridge, work near 11 Mile Road, and Gardenia Avenue. Finally, we reach the dramatic difference at the 12 Mile Road interchange with the newly built diverging diamond interchange, and finally the rebuilt bridge over 13 Mile Road.
While we understand the impact this work has on the residents and commuters, it is important to also acknowledge the great improvements.
We thank you for your continued patience and encourage you to follow along as we approach the 2023 construction season. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for updates.

Northbound I-75 exit ramp to 12 Mile Road closes Monday morning in Oakland County
Fast facts:
- Crews will close the northbound I-75 exit ramp to 12 Mile Road at 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 23.
- The ramp closure is needed to allow crews to safely install foundations for a sound wall.
- Traffic can use the northbound I-75 exit to 11 Mile Road and northbound John R. Road to access 12 Mile Road.
Starting at 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 23, crews will close the northbound I-75 exit to 12 Mile Road. The ramp closure is needed to allow crews to safely begin the work to install a new soundwall.
The exit ramp to 12 Mile Road will remain closed until late February. When the 12 Mile Road ramp closes, traffic can use the northbound I-75 exit to 11 Mile Road, then eastbound 11 Mile Road to northbound John R. Road to access 12 Mile Road.
