MDOT is holding a meeting tonight to share details and answer questions about the I-375 Reconnecting Communities project that would eliminate the freeway and turn it into a boulevard.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is hosting its seventh public meeting tonight for the I-375 Reconnecting Communities project.

Mobility, economic development and remedying displaced historically Black neighborhoods in freeway's original construction remain concerns.

State and city officials kicked off a series of community meetings Tuesday evening to share ideas and get feedback on designing the neighborhood framework for the I-375 reconnecting communities project in Detroit that would convert the 1-mile sunken highway into a street-level boulevard.

Inside an event space in Eastern Market, the Michigan Department of Transportation held its seventh community meeting on the project to remove I-375 and put in place a street-level road with traffic lights from Gratiot Avenue to Atwater Street.
