Davison, MI – Drivers in Genesee County should plan for overnight lane closures on I-75 starting Tuesday, August 12, as pavement repair work kicks off along a major stretch of the interstate.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), approximately $700,000 will be invested in joint and crack repairs on both directions of I-75 between US-23 and Court Street, with work expected to continue into late September. The project is designed to improve safety and provide a smoother driving surface for thousands of motorists who rely on this corridor daily.
Work will take place nightly from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., with two lanes closed in each direction during those hours. According to MDOT, US-23 will also see one lane closed in each direction at the I-75/US-23 split. Northbound I-75 will be closed entirely at I-475 during the nights of August 12 and 13, requiring drivers to seek alternate routes.
Officials say the investment is expected to support six jobs, both directly and indirectly, throughout the construction period. “By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes by a dime,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a statement issued by MDOT.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to monitor traffic updates and allow for extra travel time. The repairs are part of ongoing statewide efforts to improve infrastructure and road safety across Michigan.
