Moon has become something of the spokeswoman for the "8 Mile" neighborhood - named for the road that long separated the predominantly black city from the mainly white suburbs.Ĩ Mile earned pop culture fame thanks to white rapper Eminem, whose biopic was named for the neighborhood. When I-75 lanes reopen on March 1, only two lanes will be open in each direction from just south of Eight Mile Road to just north of 13 Mile Road, officials said.ĪdDuring the weekend road closure, I-75 traffic will be rerouted to the following:Northbound I-75 traffic will be detoured west on Eight Mile Road to northbound Woodward Avenue, then eastbound I-696 back to northbound I-75, andSouthbound I-75 traffic will be detoured to westbound I-696 to southbound Woodward Avenue, then eastbound Eight Mile Road back to southbound I-75.Īfter the weekend closures, some lane and ramp closures will continue through the 2021 construction season in connection with the I-75 road work.Īlso after March 1, all southbound I-75 traffic will be shifted onto northbound lanes near 13 Mile Road to allow for crews to rebuild the southbound I-75 bridge over 13 Mile Road, officials said."That would kind of dispel all that - like, I got a wall to keep me separate from other people," said the charismatic 66-year-old former city worker. Road work on I-75 is resuming in Oakland County starting Friday and will close all freeway lanes between I-696 and Eight Mile Road over the weekend.
