Overview
- MDOT will shift traffic on northbound I-75 in Troy this weekend to set up work zones, with lane closures as crews place temporary barriers.
- The plan keeps three northbound lanes open during peak hours so construction on two sound walls can start next week.
- The $10 million project covers 2.7 miles with walls from Wattles to Long Lake and from Crooks to Coolidge.
- Residents who live along the corridor report constant noise from trucks and motorcycles and expect the walls to bring some relief and steadier home values.
- MDOT warns the heaviest driver impact comes early during the traffic shift, and Troy’s mayor is urging changes to eligibility rules so more neighborhoods can get future walls.
