Construction crews are going to shut down multiple lanes on I-75 as it prepares for another series of bridge repairs between 7 Mile and the Davison Freeway. The construction is expected to last until November.

When the project starts, the two right northbound lanes of the freeway will be closed from south of Davison to 8 Mile Road.

The project, which includes repairing 12 bridges, is expected to last until November. The project also includes repairing structures at the Davison and I-75 interchange, which will close the eastbound Davison ramp to northbound I-75 

According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, two lanes on both sides of I-75 will be open during peak travel times.
