I-75 lane and ramp closures for weekend traffic switch in northern Oakland County begin Oct. 31

VILLAGE OF CLARKSTON, Mich. - Bridge and road work that's part of the $160 million investment to resurface and repair I-75 between M-15 (Ortonville Road) and the Oakland/Genesee county line is nearing completion.

The project team is in the process of removing much of the traffic control devices and reopening I-75 to its original configuration. Pavement marking replacement and staged construction removal will require lane closures. All work is weather-dependent.

10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 31 - 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 3

• Southbound I-75 Exit 101 to Grange Hall Road will be closed.
• The northbound M-15 entrance ramp to southbound I-75 will be closed.
• I-75 will have two lanes closed from Baldwin Road (Genesee County) to Clarkston Road.

5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 3 - early December

• Southbound I-75 traffic will be switched onto the newly rebuilt southbound side.
• Northbound I-75 will be reduced to one lane from Baldwin Road to Clarkston Road for approximately three weeks while crews remove 15 miles of temporary barrier wall. (As crews remove the barrier wall, northbound traffic will reopen to two lanes.)
  

  Ramp closures through early December

• Southbound I-75 Exit 106 to Dixie Highway (Saginaw Road).
• East Holly Road to northbound I-75.
• Northbound Dixie Highway/Saginaw Road (Grand Blanc Township) to northbound I-75.
• Southbound Saginaw Road to southbound I-75.
• Southbound US-24 (Dixie Highway) to southbound I-75.
• Northbound US-24 (Dixie Highway) to northbound I-75.

Major construction is expected to wrap up by early December. Crews will return through most of 2026 to remove the temporary crossovers, add pavement markings and rumble strips, and water and cultivate landscaping, along with other miscellaneous remaining activities.

Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improve the condition of the state's infrastructure.

This project includes resurfacing I-75, repairing 11 bridges, drainage improvements, culvert replacements, signs and guardrail. Various work is planned for different locations throughout the 15 miles of this work area with different schedules over four years. Based on economic modeling, this investment has directly and indirectly supported 1,936 jobs.
