Lansing, MI - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will have closures on northbound and southbound I-75 at Luna Pier Road this weekend for bridge beam installation.
This work is part of MDOT's multi-year $126 million investment to rebuild more than 4 miles of I-75 between Erie Road and Otter Creek in Monroe County, including rebuilding five bridges along with the ramps at Otter Creek and Luna Pier roads.
Funding for this project is made possible by the 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 improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.
