Davison, MI – Drivers in Genesee County will face longer delays this week as a key I-75 lane closure has been extended. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that the southbound I-75 lane at the Fenton Road bridge will remain closed until 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, to finish repairs on the overpass.
According to MDOT, the closure is part of a $2.7 million project to repair and improve 13 structures across Genesee, St. Clair, Arenac, Isabella, and Clare counties. Work at the Fenton Road site includes concrete patching, steel beam repairs, and bridge joint sealing.
Traffic will remain limited to a single lane with flagging operations in place. In addition, the right lane of southbound Fenton Road itself will be closed until 5:30 p.m. Friday. Northbound lanes will not be affected.
The project, which began Sept. 5, is expected to support 26 local jobs and improve long-term road safety. Officials said the repairs are necessary to extend the lifespan of the bridge and ensure safer travel conditions for motorists and construction crews.
Flint-area commuters and travelers heading through Genesee County are encouraged to allow extra time, seek alternate routes, and check MDOT’s Mi Drive map for live updates on traffic conditions.
