I-75 construction in Oakland County: Opening of new northbound lanes delayed
UPDATE: I-75 construction in Oakland County: New northbound lanes to start opening Fridau, Dec. 27Right now, both directions of I-75 are sharing the southbound side of the freeway, separated by a temporary concrete barrier between 13 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway. Originally, the traffic switch to place northbound traffic on the newly constructed northbound lanes was to occur by Thanksgiving, MDOT said. The 2019 work focused on rebuilding the northbound lanes and replacing 11 bridges from 13 Mile Road to Coolidge HighwayDue to weather delays, the opening of the northbound lanes is expected to occur in late December. This will result in a single-lane closure on northbound I-75 from Big Beaver to Wattles roads during the winter months. Watch this report from August: I-75 construction project now expected to take 10 years less

Police have issued 14 tickets in two weeks to drivers who disregarded the signage and drove into the construction.
