Start: March 2008 End: May 2009
How traffic is affected:
I-75 lane restrictions are limited to:
Round-the-clock single lane closure between I-696 and Eigth Mile Road for work at the Nine Mile Road pier from late June to Late August.
Single-lane closures in effect 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday.
Double-lane closures in effect Monday to Friday from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. and from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday.
I-696 lane restrictions are limited to:
Double-lane closure in effect Monday to Friday from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. and from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday.
Triple-lane closures are permitted between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., seven days a week. (The one exception will be when crews are rehabilitating east- and westbound I-696 mainline over I-75. At that time, two lanes will remain closed around-the-clock for 35 days.)
What we are doing:
A $16.5 million investment to restore 26 bridges on I-75 from the Wayne/Oakland county line to the I-696 interchange.
The project involves bridges between M-102 (Eight Mile Road) and the I-696 interchange in the communities of Hazel Park and Madison Heights in Oakland County.
These bridges have deteriorated to the point that major rehabilitation is the most cost effective fix and is necessary to ensure the safety of the motoring public.
Bridge work includes 10 bridges at the I-696/I-75 interchange at the Madison Heights/Hazel Park border. As part of the project, crews will repair pavement on east- and westbound I-696 between Scotia Road (between Coolidge Highway and Woodward Avenue) and I-75.
In addition, 16 overpasses will be restored:
Dallas Road over I-75;
Dallas Road U-turn over I-75;
Meyers Road over I-75;
John R southbound turn ramp over I-75;
John R over I-75;
John R northbound turn ramp over I-75;
Nine Mile Road turn ramp over I-75;
Nine Mile Road over I-75;
Woodward Heights Boulevard over I-75;
Eight Mile westbound service road over I-75;
Eight Mile eastbound service road over I-75;
Bernhard Street pedestrian bridge over I-75;
Harry Avenue pedestrian bridge over I-75;
Browning Avenue pedestrian bridge over I-75;
Orchard Street pedestrian bridge over I-75; and
Highland Avenue pedestrian bridge over I-75.
