WATCH: The Department of Transportation awarded $104 million in INFRA Grant Program to replace the I-375 freeway in Detroit as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda.

The project will replace the sunken freeway with a new lower-speed boulevard with pedestrian walkways. Built in the 1960s, the I-375 displaced thousands of residents in the Black communities of Black Bottom and Paradise Valley.

Among other improvements, the project will realign the ramps and freeway near I-375, install calming traffic measures, remove old bridges and stormwater runoff pump stations, and construct wider sidewalks and separated buffered cycle tracks with protected and signalized pedestrian crossings. The project will reconnect neighborhoods, reduce costs, and improve safety.
