I-75 to be down to 2 lanes in Oakland County segment in May

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – Commuters who use I-75 should brace themselves as there's more road construction expected for southern Oakland County.

Lanes are expected to close on I-75 between south Boulevard and Baldwin Road. The Baldwin Road bridge is one of the 21 bridges slated to get torn down and repaired during the project. It's a project that will tie up traffic during the day, night and especially the weekends around many shopping centers.

Currently, traffic along I-75 in northern Oakland County is moving smoothly. In a week, drivers can expect to face heavy traffic, lane shifts and construction barrels on a stretch of highway in Auburn Hills.

Drivers are going to have to prepare because besides the bridge repair the $21 million project will reduce lanes in both north and southbound lanes. It could go as low as two lanes during the week and single lanes on weekends.
