It's taken MDOT long enough to rebuild I-75 through Detroit, and it looks like they're getting close. The one new flyover is for the Gordie Howe Bridge to Canada, which should be done in about (or aboot) a year.

36:15 That impromptu drag race between the Camaro and the Durango SRT in front of Chrysler HQ is just peak Detroit right there. Love it

[@Animegamespublishing]

Job well done on Interstate 75 travelling to Detroit. Great city!

[@nathanmack8979]

This is the first time I noticed the Gordie Howe Bridge. Once completed it will be the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America.

[@thisisthefatra2781]

did yall know i75 starts in canda and ends in miami like i95

[@dizzotizzo69]

Yes, I have driven all of it, except for the section from Tampa to Miami.

[@epilleux]

That's one of the bumpiest roads I've ever driven on!

[@calvinsmith6681]

You ain't seen nothin' yet

[@fgjr96way]

you haven't been on our local roads🤢

[@lannysbusiness]

Driving through Detroit with the hemmies ( hemorrhoids) would probably be extremely painful...lol

[@edwardmiessner6502]

I can't believe how suburban it all is, even the stretch going past Downtown Detroit!

[@dizzotizzo69]

After the great white flight around 1968, the building started like crazy, north of Detroit. The farther out, the bigger the houses. I grew up off of 15 mile and there, the houses were 1000 to 1800 sq ft. Go about 10 miles north and they're $1 million plus with 2500-5000 sq ft and beyond.

Oakland County is very different from Wayne County

[@ryanearles2024]

Detroit Rock City!!

[@dizzotizzo69]

Always will be a classic: Big Beaver Rd. Exit 69!!

[@gavinmclean1988]

Second home for me is Detroit. I hope you do Port Huron, The UP or 8 Mile Rd

[@flydragon7256]

6:35 The new Ambassador Bridge to the right

[@ryanvandy1615]

Yep called the Gordie Howe 👍🏻

[@calvinsmith6681]

Thankfully NOT privately owned like the Ambassador Bridge is. Big ole one finger salute to Matty Moroun down in hell.

Gordy Howe Bridge. I met the man and got his autograph coming out of a grocery store in 1989 in Traverse City where he lived.

@6:40 The new Gordy Howe Bridge under construction!

[@robertpollock38]

Amazing how lackluster and boring the northside of Detroits suburbs are off the interstate. It’s different then a lot of places no tall signs for gas stations and restaurants no like major travel center type gas stations or trucks stops period you drive like over 100 miles through very to pretty densely populated area with no truck stops from the Detroitier flying j to loves TA in birch run and most exits just don’t really have much of anything on them or tell you much as to what’s on them just very different feel then 90 percent of 75 from Florida to Michigan or really any interstate

[@burtlewand5915]

Reading this as someone from this area, it truly made me laugh. I totally agree with you, there are not many signs, but this is Oakland county. For one thing, once you get off the freeway, the built-up area still goes on for tens of miles, it is not like there are just one or two businesses to list. Additionally, when you get to 16 mile/Big Beaver Rd on 75, 8 miles north of Detroit, that is the exit for nice city with a luxury mall that has the only Nieman Marcus location in Michigan. This county is the center of the white-collar population in metro Detroit, the wealthiest county in Michigan, and not too far down the list as far as being one of the wealthiest in the country. This are why you don't see them. But now, I have to tell you the reason I sincerely laughed. As someone from this area, when I get to part of the freeway with those signs like you're talking about, I assume there is nothing going on there EXCEPT those businesses. I know it is not, but to me, that is the sign of being in some backwater area. If you told people we were missing that on the highway, they would give a look of shock. We are NOT a backwater.

[@Know26874]

Did my meps entry at troy on 15 mile rd

[@efil4kizum]

makes me absolutely motion sickness watching all of the obtrusive bouncing around on this road in the 7 minute time area... and the pavement does not appear to be that aged at all?

[@ryanvandy1615]

Could be the camera mount. Freeway is reasonable in that area. Been through much worse.

[@JAY-gv4eq]

​@@ryanvandy1615look at all the other vehicles and trucks in front ALSO bouncing around like at sea!

[@ace20016]

When did they widen out I-75 south of Downtown Detroit and in Oakland County? Last time I seen street views of I-75 in those parts, it was 6 lanes not 8 lanes.

[@TimEssDub]

IT's been going on since 2018 (I think)

[@calvinsmith6681]

They have been reconstructing I-75 from Square Lake Rd to 8 Mile Rd for a few years now. Construction is just wrapping up. It included reconstructing several interchanges, including rebuilding the interchanges at Big Beaver Rd, 14 Mile Rd, and 12 Mile Rd into diverging diamond interchanges, rebuilding the interchange at Square Lake Rd from a Y interchange with left-hand exits and merges to a semi-directional T, and also the elimination of the weave between I-696 and 11 Mile Rd. The final part of the project is converting the left lane into an HOV lane, which appears to have just finished. Been a long time coming

[@edwardmiessner6502]

I remember it being 6 lanes too when I was a kid and my family and I were going to Niagara Falls

[@ace20016]

@@calvinsmith6681 Oh ok. Thanks for the info.

[@crollwtide9452]

I used to drive up this stretch of freeway...it looks nothing like it used to about 20 years ago.

[@pghrpg4065]

Last time I was drove there (in 2011), I was driving from downtown (actually, had dinner in Windsor and came through the tunnel) and drove to Pontiac in a thunderstorm. I remember all of those 90 degree curves; thankfully, the road wasn't too busy.

From 8:00-9:55, it almost looks like driving through Dallas with all the freeway construction taking place.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Yeah, that's two miles' worth and it's all for the new Gordie Howe Bridge!

[@fgjr96way]

for the 1st time in Michigan HOV lanes on i-75 from i-696 to Square Lake Road (Bus-75)

[@fgjr96way]

Good Job Mike of traveling in my City and my area at the 3:00, you must have did this on a Saturday (this is heavy trucks area on the weekdays) cant wait till MDOT gets rid of i-375 interchange area and hopefully a 50mph continue curve from the Fisher to the Chrysler, love your videos as you travel all the interstates in the USA, safe travels

[@MPB059]

One of my favorite cities to visit! Chevy guy here! Always will love the motor city !
