I-75 Zilwaukee Bridge Lanes Reopen Early Today After MDOT Maintenance

The early finish follows a $2.9 million preventive project to extend the bridge's service life.

Overview

  • MDOT says all lanes on the Zilwaukee Bridge are expected to be open Tuesday, about a month ahead of the mid-November target.
  • Crews will remove barricades and apply new pavement markings through the morning into early afternoon, creating intermittent lane, shoulder, and ramp closures.
  • Law enforcement will manage traffic during the changeover, and drivers should anticipate delays.
  • The maintenance program included expansion joint repairs, deck patching, and resealing to improve long-term performance.
  • Work was staged with southbound repairs starting in April and northbound work beginning in August before wrapping ahead of schedule.
