I-75/M-102 Study - Oakland/Wayne counties

Overview

MDOT completed a feasibility study, for the I-75/M-102 (8 Mile Road) interchange in the Detroit and Hazel Park. This interchange, built in 1969, is aging and no longer meets the needs of today’s traffic patterns and land uses. MDOT conducted the study to evaluate options for modernizing the interchange and has shared recommendations in a final report.

After reviewing several options, MDOT identified two practical concepts, with the urban diamond interchange chosen as the best fit. This concept aims to improve traffic flow and safety, and to strengthen community connections to better serve drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users. The study’s recommendations also include adding a fourth lane to both northbound and southbound I-75.

Engagement opportunities

MDOT gathered feedback and learned about community priorities through public meetings, surveys, written comments, and an interactive map. Priorities included reducing congestion near the interchange, improving landscaping, lighting, and signage, and making the area more accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. A summary of this feedback is included in the final report.

MDOT does not currently have funding for the recommendations in the study. When the project moves to the design phase, there will be more opportunities to share your input.
