• A $12 million design/build replacement of the Nine Mile Road bridge over I-75 in the community of Hazel Park.
• Included in the project are:
• Reconstruction to 0.5 miles of I-75 between Breckenridge and Highland avenues;
• Rehabilitation to John R Road bridge over I-75;
• New traffic signals on the service drives at 9 Mile Road; and
• Lighting upgrades on the freeway.

• Bridge replacement work began in October and is scheduled to be open to traffic in December 2009.
• I-75 freeway reconstruction is scheduled to begin in April and be completed in July 2010.

• Two lanes of traffic are anticipated to be maintained on northbound and southbound I-75 at Nine Mile Road during peak travel periods. The I-75 service drives will have a single lane open in each direction during bridge replacement work.
• Posted detour routes for Nine Mile Road:

• Eastbound Nine Mile Road is detoured to the southbound service drive to cross over I-75 at West Woodruff Avenue and then to the northbound service drive.
• Westbound Nine Mile Road is detoured to the northbound service drive to Woodward Heights Boulevard to cross over I-75 to the southbound service drive.
• Nine Mile Road pedestrian traffic will be detoured to the John R Road bridge for both directions.

During temporary nighttime closures of I-75, which will be necessary for setting steel bridge beams, traffic will exit the freeway at Nine Mile Road, follow the service drives and enter the freeway at the Nine Mile Road entrance ramps.
