Bridge work and resurfacing is scheduled to resume in early March along Interstate 75 in northern Oakland County, the Michigan Department of Transportation reported. 

This is part of a four-year project involving resurfacing, repairs to 11 bridges, culvert replacements, sign and guardrail work on that section of I-75. 

The work for this year is mill and resurface on the southbound side of I-75, starting from M-15 (Ortonville Road) in the Clarkston area and going to the Oakland/Genesee county line. During this time, traffic will be limited to two lanes in each direction, sharing the northbound side of the freeway. Bridge repairs also will take place on the southbound side. 

Road construction last year in that area had shifted traffic into two lanes each direction, traveling on the southbound side. 

This year's construction will wrap up in late fall. 

The 2026 work involves removing temporary crossovers and related wrapup tasks. 

The overall investment is about $160 million, MDOT said. Economic modeling suggests the road work will directly or indirectly support 1,936 jobs.  

Funding for this project is supported by the Rebuilding Michigan program, a campaign intended to rebuild state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and / or carry the most traffic.
