STANDISH, MI - A portion of Interstate 75 will be closed and detoured overnight this week to allow demolition crews to safely work.
The Michigan Department of Transportation announced that it is detouring northbound I-75 traffic to accommodate the removal of a bridge beam at the Lincoln Road overpass on Wednesday, May 4.
MDOT crews are expecting to start work and implement the detour at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. The detour is expected to be completed by 5 a.m. on Thursday, May 5.
Northbound I-75 traffic should follow the posted detour via M-61, US-23, Old 76, and Sterling Road.
The work is a part of an overall $35 million investment to resurface 6.4 miles of US-23 from I-75 to Grove Street in Standish. This project will also include various smaller projects on 19 bridge structures in and near the project limits, including deck replacements, deck patching, substructure repairs and railings, according to MDOT.
Plans are also in place to replace the US-23 connector bridge over M-13 with a roundabout as part of the project.
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, according to MDOT.
