Oakland County, MI – Drivers in northern Oakland County should prepare for lane and ramp closures on I-75 starting Thursday, Oct. 31, as crews complete a weekend traffic switch, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
The closures will allow construction teams to safely shift traffic patterns as part of the ongoing I-75 modernization project. MDOT officials say the work will impact multiple lanes and ramps between M-15 and Sashabaw Road, with intermittent closures expected through the weekend.
According to MDOT, the switch is scheduled to begin Thursday evening and continue through early Monday morning, weather permitting. Motorists are urged to seek alternate routes and allow extra travel time, especially during peak commute hours.
The traffic shift marks another phase in the multi-year reconstruction of I-75 through northern Oakland County, aimed at improving pavement conditions, drainage, and interchange access. Once the traffic switch is complete, crews will begin work on the opposite side of the freeway in preparation for the next construction stage.
