DETROIT – The big I-75 Modernization project has made traffic slowdowns the norm along parts of the freeway, even with far fewer people commuting to work. “Since we are still working on the modernization project section between 8 Mile and I-696. The project takes place between the Davison Freeway and 7 Mile Road and includes heavy-duty repairs on 12 bridges. We’ll have the modernization project south of I-696 completed,” Morosi said. AdIn the meantime, travel on I-75 between the Davison Freeway to 13 Mile will be slow, with only two lanes open in each direction.
