MDOT provides new info about upcoming I-75 interchange project in Gaylord
The I-75/M-32 diverging diamond interchange (DDI) project is set to get underway in Gaylord this fall, but the Michigan Department of Transportation wants to make sure drivers know how to navigate the new interchange once it is complete. The project’s website has been recently updated with new information, including the construction schedule, detours and navigation videos for drivers. As part of the $54 million project, MDOT plans to replace the northbound and southbound I-75 bridges over M-32 and rebuild M-32 between Edelweiss Village Parkway/Meecher Road and Wisconsin Avenue. The interchange will also be reconfigured as a DDI, which MDOT describes as “an alternative interchange that improves safety, increases traffic flow and can reduce construction costs.” The design was chosen based on community input and engineering review. More: MDOT selects design format for I-75 interchange project in Gaylord More: Gaylord eyes state grant to add safety items to I-75 interchange project To navigate a DDI, drivers follow signs, signals and pavement markings to cross to the left side of the roadway after the first set of traffic signals.
