Success Stories

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)

Project

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is spearheading the transformative I-75 Modernization Project using an innovative Design-Build-Finance-Maintain (DBFM) contracting method. This ambitious initiative focuses on Segment 3, a critical stretch spanning 5.5 miles from 13 Mile Road to 8 Mile Road in Madison Heights, Royal Oak, and Hazel Park, Oakland County. The project aims to improve connectivity and safety through significant upgrades, including:

  • Adding a High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) and general-purpose lane up to 12 Mile Road.
  • Reconstructing existing freeway lanes.
  • Replacing 28 structures, including six pedestrian bridges.
  • Implementing advanced drainage systems, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) upgrades, and community-driven aesthetic improvements.

The Challenge

MDOT faced a monumental task in managing this large-scale, multifaceted infrastructure project. Challenges included:

  • Coordinating construction activities across multiple stakeholders and contractors.
  • Ensuring rigorous adherence to quality standards for inspection and testing.
  • Maintaining real-time visibility and effective communication across teams.
  • Handling the complexity of data collection, analysis, and reporting for compliance and decision-making.
