The Metro

Why officials want to cap parts of I-75


Listen Later

In metro Detroit, we’re accustomed to highways. They’re everywhere around these parts. They get us to where we’re going quite quickly. But they also have drawbacks, creating noise and air pollution and keeping potential businesses and neighbors further from each other. 

A Detroit-based organization and the state are working to change that. The project to cap I-75 could allow pedestrians to stroll between downtown Detroit and certain parts of the city.

Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
