 CLARKSTON, Mich. ­– The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) I-75 project between M-15 (Ortonville Road) and the Oakland/Genesee county line continues with resurfacing and repairing of the roadway along with bridge repairs and other improvements.

Beginning 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 14, eastbound Holly Road will have one lane open over I-75 for bridge repairs, with a temporary traffic signal.

MDOT is investing approximately $160 million to resurface and repair I-75 from M-15 (Ortonville Road) to the Oakland/Genesee county line. This project includes resurfacing I-75, repairing 11 bridges, drainage improvements, culvert replacements, signs, and guardrail. Various work will be performed in different locations with different schedules throughout the 15 miles over four years.

Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state’s economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improve the condition of the state’s infrastructure.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 1,936 jobs.
