The crash at Big Beaver damaged both the road and median wall.

All southbound I-75 lanes will reopen at Big Beaver Road and all northbound lanes will reopen except between 8 Mile and Wattles roads, where slope repairs unrelated to the crash are being done.

Ramps that were closed for safety during repairs are also now open.

Additional work that needs to be completed will be done during off-peak hours, the Michigan Department of Transportation said.
