MDOT in partnership with the City of Detroit, has resurfaced and provided streetscape improvements to approximately 2.8 miles of the road. The goals of this project included improving mobility by implementing traffic calming measures and strengthening foot traffic for existing and new businesses.

What Changes happened?
