Congratulations to the Michigan Department of Transportation on I-75 Recognition from ARTBA
Nossaman congratulates the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for being recognized by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) during the organization’s 36th Annual P3 Conference held July 16-18, 2024 in Washington DC.
MDOT was recognized for its I-75 project—which was the winner in the “Community Impact of the Year” category. The award recognizes a “project that provides economic, philanthropic, or humanitarian benefit to the public and an improved quality of life for the community and/or users of the asset.” The I-75 Modernization project in Oakland County, MI, is part of the state’s first High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, replacing a congested and outdated freeway in Detroit’s northern suburbs. The project deploys innovations that enhanced safety, reduced cost and delivered the 5.5 miles of urban freeway on an expedited five-year schedule.
The new roadway and bridges add capacity and improve traffic flow and safety, while improved stormwater drainage will enhance resiliency and protect adjacent communities from extreme weather events throughout the flood-prone I-75 corridor. Six new pedestrian bridges and sidewalks provide safe access, connecting communities and businesses. Aesthetically pleasing noise walls, retaining walls and bridges make the built environment more appealing. Elizabeth Cousins, Corey Boock and Shant Boyajian work with MDOT on the project.
ARTBA brings together all facets of the transportation construction industry to responsibly advocate for infrastructure investment and policy that meet the nation’s need for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
