🚧 I-75 traffic patterns in Montgomery County shifting for years-long construction. ODOT will implement nightly lane closures between Needmore Road and Leo Street as crews move barrier walls for a major traffic shift in June. Southbound traffic will use three lanes on the right side until fall 2026, while northbound traffic will split with the left lane crossing to the southbound side in a "contraflow lane." Drivers in this contraflow lane won't be able to access several exits, including Stanley Avenue and Wagner-Ford Road. The Wagner-Ford Road entrance to I-75 south will remain closed until fall 2026 for safety reasons.
