I-75 Oakland County project update: Saginaw Road closed near I-75 for culvert repair Oct. 3-6

CLARKSTON, Mich. - As part of the ongoing I-75 road and bridge project between M-15 (Ortonville Road) and the Oakland/Genesee county line, crews will need to close southbound Saginaw Road/Dixie Highway from the MDOT carpool lot to McClelland Road to perform culvert repairs, weather permitting.

The closure will begin at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3, and is expected to end at 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 6. Traffic will be detoured via westbound Baldwin Road, southbound Holly Road and eastbound Grange Hall Road to I-75 and Dixie Highway. An alternate detour is westbound Baldwin Road and northbound Holly Road to I-75.

  • Southbound I-75 Exit 106 to Dixie Highway/Saginaw Road.

Overall work this year is expected to be complete in early November. In 2026, crews will remove the temporary crossovers and perform remaining miscellaneous activities.

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. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improve the condition of the state's infrastructure.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 1,936 jobs.
