Genesee County, MI – Flooding along I-75 near Miller Road is slowing traffic in both directions Friday.
According to the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, water is beginning to accumulate on the roadway just north of Miller Road, affecting both northbound and southbound lanes. Authorities issued a traffic alert urging drivers to reduce speed and use caution as rain continues to fall across the area.
Officials did not immediately report any lane closures, but warned that conditions could worsen if rainfall persists. Standing water on highways increases the risk of hydroplaning and sudden braking, particularly during periods of steady or heavy rain.
Drivers traveling through the corridor are advised to allow extra time, increase following distance, and avoid sudden maneuvers. The sheriff’s office emphasized that conditions may change quickly depending on rainfall intensity and drainage capacity along the interstate.
The affected stretch of I-75 is a heavily traveled route for commuters and commercial traffic moving through Genesee County. Even minor flooding in this area can lead to backups and slower travel speeds during peak periods.
No injuries or crashes were immediately linked to the flooding, but authorities continue to monitor the situation and may issue additional updates if conditions deteriorate.
For students, workers, and commuters using I-75, delays may impact typical afternoon travel times.
