Genesee County, MI — June 9, 2028
Did those orange barrels on I-75 catch you off guard? A lot of traffic flows on the interstate in Genesee County, and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is working to keep up with road conditions. So here is the story.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be closing one lane of southbound I-75 from US-23 to Court Street in Genesee County as part of a $6.9 million investment to resurface more than 4 miles of I-75 in each direction between US-23 and Court Street in Genesee County. Work will include hot-mix asphalt, cold milling and resurfacing, shoulder corrugations, and pavement markings.
This part of the work project began on Monday, June 8, 2026, on the southbound side of the highway. The far-left lane is closed, along with the left shoulder. Traffic will be maintained with additional intermittent single- and double-lane closures as well as ramp closures as needed as work progresses throughout the project limits. Detours will be posted as necessary.
How Long Will the Work Be Ongoing
Thankfully, the construction on this section of the roadway is expected to be completed on Friday, June 12, 2026. However additional aspects of the project will continue into September 2026.
This work will extend the lifespan of the roadway and increase safety for motorists. Lane and ramp closures are necessary to ensure the safety of motorists and workers.
So Let’s Slow Down and Give Those Highway Workers a Brake!
