Project Introduction
The diverging diamond interchange (DDI) design will modernize the Big Beaver and 14 Mile Road interchanges and improve both vehicle and pedestrian safety.
Accelerated project construction will get Michigan moving smarter, safer, sooner.
Sustainable transportation across the state is vital to Michigan's quality of life and economy.
Connecting families, business and regions across the state.
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology will monitor real-time traffic conditions along the I-75 corridor.
A new tunnel will collect stormwater drainage from the corridor to support safe travel.

High Friction Surface Treatments on I-75
Throughout the project corridor there are multiple areas where we have added an additional layer of safety, called a High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST). This treatment is applied directly to the roadway to improve pavement friction along specific curves as a safety measure. HFST is used throughout the country and has proven to be effective. A couple locations where this layer of safety has been applied on the roadway is on I-75 at the Big Beaver Road curves and th e 9 Mile Ro ad c urves. Drivers notice only a minimal difference in the feel of the road as they travel through these areas, however the roadway surface visually stands out as the treatment can change the color of the roadway – as illustrated in the image below.

8 Mile Road to I-696 Flyover – November 2021
Check out this birds-eye view of the project as the sun is rising on a beautiful autumn day the weekend of November 6-7. In this video, you can see the progress along the southbound side of the road including the freeway lanes, the ramps to and from the roadway, along the slopes, and even on the service drive. Crews made great progress in this area as they prepared for seasonal suspension.

I-75 Modernization Project Seasonal Suspension
The I -75 Modernization Project is pleased to announce the reopening of lanes and ramps following the 2021 construction season. The freeway has been restored to three lanes in each direction and the ramps between 8 Mile Road and Square Lake Road have reopened for the winter months.
This season has had some amazing milestones , such as the:
- Rebuilding of the southbound travel lanes and ramps between 8 Mile and I-696
- Rebuilding of the Browning, Highland, and Bellaire Avenue Pedestrian bridges
- Rebuilding and reopening of the 11 Mile Bridge as well as the Shevlin Avenue Bridge (which will reopen later this year), and the SB I-75 bridge over 13 Mile Road
- Opening of two reconfigured interchanges at Big Beaver Road and 14 Mile Roads making them safer.
Crews will continue work along the southbound and northbound service drives through the winter.
The 2022 c onstruction season will kick off in late February and will focus on the northbound lanes/ramps from I-696 to north of 13 Mile Road. Stay tuned to the project website and social media channels for more info.

Vegetation planting begins October 23 on I-75 in Oakland County
Weather permitting, landscaping crews will begin vegetation planting along I-75 in Oakland County during the months of October, November, and December. For healthy planting sustainability, additional work will take place in the spring. The plantings will occur approximately along the 8-mile stretch of I-75 between Coolidge Highway and 14 Mile Rd. The plantings are part of the freeway modernization project that reconstructed a section of I-75 during the 2019 and 2020 construction seasons. In order to safely unload equipment and vegetation, there will be intermittent shoulder and single-lane closures along northbound and southbound I-75 during non-peak travel hours.
