MDOT: Southbound I-75 Will Remain Closed Overnight

(CBS DETROIT) - The Michigan Department of Transportation announced Wednesday night, due to a truck striking the Savanah overpass, which is approximately 6 1/2 Mile, southbound I-75 will remain closed overnight.

MDOT says crews will work to repair the steel beams and traffic is being diverted off southbound I-75 at 7 Mile Road.

Motorists can use westbound 7 Mile Road to southbound Woodward to eastbound McNichols to rejoin southbound I-75.

MDOT says every effort will be made to open southbound I-75 prior to morning rush hour on Thursday, Feb. 4.

It is unknown if the Savanah overpass will be open by Thursday morning.
