Construction underway on two sounds walls along I-75 in Oakland Co. Find out where
TROY — Construction is underway on two sound walls along Interstate 75 in Troy following years of complaints from nearby residents and businesses about excessive noise. One 2,666-foot wall is being built from Wattles to Long Lake. The other wall, which will be more than 2,000 feet longer at 4,273 feet, is going up from Crooks to Coolidge. Construction started in April of this year, said Rob Morosi, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation, and will take roughly two years. It's expected to wrap up in the fall of 2027.

The repairs will disrupt the city's ability to operate the facility, the post reads. The aquatic center in summer 2026 experienced "unsustainable" water loss due to multiple failures throughout the facility's aging underground systems. Minimum repairs to this system are estimated at $1 million, according to city officials. “Because repairs can only be done in the summer, the pool will be closed for the 2027 season," said City Manager Frank Nastasi in the post on Facebook. "We will keep evaluating its long-term future, and we hope community partnerships can be part of the solution.” The Troy Family Aquatic Center opened in 1992 and marked its 30th anniversary in 2022.
