(WXYZ) — It is already that point of yr. Construction season is set to begin once more.
MDOT says it will kick off the second one phase of the Modernize I-seventy five Construction Project on Thursday.
We have informed the memories of people who hit potholes and damaged their vehicles on I-75 in the latest weeks. At times it has been so terrible MDOT has known as for emergency shutdowns while crews restore the crumbling interstate.
Now work starts an excellent way to cope with this.

It is a $224 million greenback assignment. Along with extra than 8 miles of I-seventy five from Thirteen Mile to Coolidge, there might be new drains, street, and bridges constructed. It will take years. However, MDOT says it’ll remaining for many years. Thursday crews will begin to prepare for a traffic shift – as both instructions are placed on one side of i-75.
“By the center of March we fully expect all northbound site visitors to be using the southbound side of the limited-access highway, however we can have temporary exits, at Fourteen Mile, Big Beaver, Rochester, so northbound site visitors once they’re in the region gained’t have to go all eight. Five miles,” said Morosi.
