History

Interstate 96 was mostly constructed in sections that opened from 1957 to 1962, but it was not completed in the Detroit area until 1977. Even before the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act was signed in 1956, the route was being planned as a replacement of the old U.S. Highway 16, which was deleted in 1962. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act (Public Law 84-627 was enacted on June 29 1956 when Dwight D US Route 16 is an east-west United States highway between Rapid City South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Beginnings

The Lake Michigan-Grand Rapids-Lansing-Detroit corridor was initially the Grand River Trail, an Indian trail that was designated as a military highway in 1832. Grand River Avenue is one of the principal pre- Interstate roads in the state of Michigan. US Route 16 is an east-west United States highway between Rapid City South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America, and the only one located entirely within the United States. Detroit changed the name of its portion of the road to Grand River Avenue in 1871, a name which soon spread along the rest of the route. Grand River Avenue is one of the principal pre- Interstate roads in the state of Michigan. It became M-16 in 1918, and was the first paved highway across the state when paving was completed in 1926. US Route 16 is an east-west United States highway between Rapid City South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. [4][5] The entire highway was designated as part of US-16 later that year. [6]

East of Grand Rapids, the highway was a major artery of national importance, and was added to the proposed "Interregional Highway System" as part of a northern route between Chicago and Detroit by the 1940s. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. [7] A branch from Grand Rapids to Muskegon was added later that decade,[8] and in 1957 the Chicago-Detroit route was labeled as part of Interstate 94, with Interstate 94N on the spur to Muskegon. [9] Michigan, believing that this would "cause considerable confusion to the public", requested a change in April 1958, which would move I-94 to the shorter Kalamazoo route (which was planned as I-92), make the Muskegon-Kalamazoo route I-96, and assign I-67 to the connection from I-94 to I-96 at Grand Rapids,[10] but this was initially rejected by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO). AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, is a standards setting body which publishes specifications test protocols and [11] By early 1959, Michigan's plan had been approved, with one change: I-96 would take the south leg from I-94 at Benton Harbor to Grand Rapids, and the north leg to Muskegon would be I-196. Benton Harbor is a city in Berrien County in the US State of Michigan. [12]

Construction of the Brighton-Farmington Expressway piece of the US-16 upgrade began in 1956,[13] and, when a four-mile (6 km) piece opened on August 1, 1957, it was the first section of funded Interstate to open in Michigan.

Brighton is a city in Livingston County, the fastest growing county in the U Farmington is a city in Oakland County of the US state of Michigan. [15] By early 1959, when signs for I-96 and I-196 were posted, 59 miles (95 km) of the "Detroit-Muskegon Freeway" had been completed and marked as US-16. [16] With the opening of 51 miles (82 km) from west of Lansing to east of Howell, the entire route, except in the Detroit area, was opened for travel on December 12, 1962. Howell is a city in the US state of Michigan.

Several Bannered routes of US Route 31 exist In order from south to north they are as follows There have been five business routes for Interstate 96 in the state of Michigan [19]

In 1963, the Michigan State Highway Department petitioned AASHO to again make the change it had requested back in 1958, moving I-96 over I-196 to end at Muskegon and renumbering I-96 west of Grand Rapids to I-67. The Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT) is a constitutional Government agency in the U The state cited problems with destination signing and numerous complaints from the public about confusion caused by the numbering. [20] At their October 21, 1963 meeting, AASHO approved the relocation of I-96, but rejected I-67, stating that the number should be kept for a more major route in case the system is expanded, and instead assigned I-196 to the not-yet-complete Benton Harbor-Grand Rapids route.

Construction of the Jeffries Freeway

The Detroit Expressway and Transit System plan, prepared in 1945 for the city of Detroit, included a Grand River Expressway, which was to parallel Grand River Avenue into downtown and relieve congestion on that artery. Grand River Avenue is one of the principal pre- Interstate roads in the state of Michigan. A rail line would be built in the median of the freeway west of West Chicago Street, where streetcars would exit onto the existing surface tracks on Grand River Avenue into downtown. "Railroad" and "Railway" both redirect here For other uses see Railroad (disambiguation.

A rapid transit, underground, subway, elevated railway or metro(politan system is an electric passenger railway [23] The Department of Street Railways determined in 1947 that the operation would cost $6 million per year, and the planned transit line was dropped from the plans. By 1961, the proposed highway was renamed the Jeffries Freeway, after Edward Jeffries, who served as Detroit mayor from 1940 to 1948. This is a list of Mayors of Detroit Michigan. See History of Detroit Michigan, for more information about the incorporation of the city [24][25]

The first piece of the Jeffries Freeway connected the Fisher Freeway (I-75) with the Ford Freeway (I-94) in 1970. In the US state of Michigan, Interstate 75 (I-75 begins at the state line just north of Toledo Ohio and runs to Detroit then heads towards In the US state of Michigan, Interstate 75 (I-75 begins at the state line just north of Toledo Ohio and runs to Detroit then heads towards In the US state of Michigan, Interstate 94 runs east-west through the southern portion of the state In the US state of Michigan, Interstate 94 runs east-west through the southern portion of the state It was extended northwest to Livernois Avenue (exit 188A) in 1971, and then to Grand River Avenue at Schaefer Highway (exit 185) in 1973. In 1976, the freeway was extended west to the Southfield Freeway (exit 183), and the entire I-275 overlap section was opened. M-39 is a State highway in the US state of Michigan that runs from Lincoln Park to Southfield. [26] The final piece was completed in 1977, connecting the Detroit section to I-275. [27]

Originally, the route of Interstate 96 from the east end of the existing freeway in Farmington through Detroit, named the Jeffries Freeway (commonly referred to as simply "the Jeffries"), was to closely parallel Grand River Avenue (formerly U. Grand River Avenue is one of the principal pre- Interstate roads in the state of Michigan. S. 16). However, by 1963, several freeway revolts were taking place in urban locations throughout the country, including Detroit. The Freeway Revolts (sometimes expressway revolts) refer to a phenomenon encountered in the United States and Canada and in the 1960s and 1970s where planned Several of Detroit's planned freeways were modified, scaled back, or outright cancelled, and the Jeffries was no exception. To minimize the impact to existing communities and businesses, it was decided that the freeway would no longer utilize the Grand River Avenue corridor. [28] Instead, the new Interstate 96 freeway corridor would partially use the C&O Railroad right of way through the city of Livonia, and utilize the planned Interstate 275 freeway bypassing Detroit to the west to connect back to the existing freeway. Interstate 275 (I-275 in the US state of Michigan is a western bypass of the Detroit metropolitan area [29]

The Jeffries Freeway (not yet signed as Interstate 96) was opened in stages in the early-1970s. The first two segments, opened in 1970 and 1971, connected Interstate 75 to Interstate 94, and Interstate 94 to Livernois Avenue, respectively. [30] The full freeway-to-freeway connection ramps to the planned Davison Freeway were opened in 1973, in another extension of the Jeffries Freeway to Grand River Avenue. M-8 is a short but important state trunkline highway in the U [30] In 1975, the Jeffries was completed westward to the Southfield Freeway (M-39), and, about this time, the Jeffries Freeway was signed as Interstate 96, leaving a gap in the routing between Farmington and the M-39 interchange. [30]

When a portion of the new Interstate 275 freeway opened from the existing Interstate 96 to the Schoolcraft Avenue in 1976, it was still not signed as Interstate 96. Interstate 275 (I-275 in the US state of Michigan is a western bypass of the Detroit metropolitan area In 1977, the final portion of the Jeffries Freeway through Livonia (from Interstate 275 east to the end of the existing Jeffries Freeway) opened to traffic, and with that, the final segment of Interstate 96 in general. [31] The Interstate 96 routing was assigned along the Interstate 275 freeway south to the Jeffries Freeway, and eastward along the new freeway to the M-39 interchange, and the remaining stub of Interstate 96 around Farmington was redesignated as an extension of M-102 (now M-5). M-102 is a state trunkline in the US state of Michigan, running along the northern boundary of Detroit. M-5 is a 21 mile (34 km highway in the Metro Detroit area of the U

Subsequent history

Since the completion of Interstate 96 in 1977, several expansions of the freeway have taken place, including the addition of a third lane in each direction for most of the eastern half of the route. Beginning in 1984, a southerly extension of the U.S. 27 freeway (later to become Interstate 69) bypassing Lansing opened; U. US Route 27 ( US 27) is a north-south United States highway in the southern and midwestern United States. Interstate 69 (I-69 is an Interstate Highway in the United States. S. 27 was then co-signed with Interstate 96 along the western side of Lansing. Three years later, the Interstate 69 designation was applied to this new bypass, resulting in a rare triple-concurrency (I-96/I-69/U. S. 27) that existed until 2002, when U. S. 27 was deleted in Michigan. [30]

On January 12, 2005, a massive pile-up consisting of over 200 motor vehicles occurred in both directions of Interstate 96 near Williamston in Ingham County. Events 475 - Basiliscus becomes Byzantine Emperor, with a coronation ceremony in the Hebdomon palace in Constantinople Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

The 2000 census recorded its population at 279320 with the 2007 Census Bureau estimate Two people, Douglas James Baker (age 15) and Jason Eldridge (age 27) were killed in the incident, one of the largest multi-vehicle collisions in U. S. history, which was blamed on heavy fog. [32]

From 2003 to 2005, the Beck Road interchange (exit 160) in Novi was reconstructed as a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI), the first in the metropolitan Detroit area and the first on Interstate 96, at a cost of $46 million. Novi is a city in Oakland County of the US state of Michigan. A single-point urban interchange ( SPUI, ˈspuːi or /ˈspjuːi/ also called a single-point interchange ( SPI) or single-point diamond interchange [33] A similar reconstruction is currently planned for the nearby Wixom Road interchange. [34]

Future

While Interstate 96 is, for the most part, a complete route, there are a few minor changes planned or being considered for the future.

Ambassador Bridge connection

At this time, there is no direct freeway access to the Ambassador Bridge at the United States/Canada border; only a short surface street connection exists between the bridges' approaches and the nearby Interstates 75 and 96. The Ambassador Bridge is a Privately-owned Suspension bridge that connects Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, with Windsor The construction of an Interstate connection between I-75 and the bridge was mandated by the 1998 National Highway System Act; this most likely would take the form of an easterly extension of Interstate 96 directly to the bridge. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21 was enacted June 9, 1998, as Public Law 105-178 [35] However, the actual construction of this connection faces several obstacles, including the projected high cost and local impact. [34]

Despite the past obstacles, plans to make Interstate 96 accessible to the Ambassador Bridge are currently underway. Beginning in 2008, the Michigan Department of Transportation will embark on a near two year project to realign the interchange between Interstate 75 and Interstate 96 near Downtown Detroit. The Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT) is a constitutional Government agency in the U Interstate 75 (I-75 is a major north-south Interstate Highway in the midwest and southeastern United States. The project will include a new pedestrian walk, as well as both freeways having a direct link to the Ambassador bridge, eliminating the pedestrian linkage to the bridge. The project is expected to be completed in late 2009. [36]

Additional interchanges

Currently, another interchange at Latson Road in Howell is planned and under study, pending right of way acquisition. Howell is a city in the US state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 9232 while the 2006 estimate placed the This interchange would bring improved access to the eastern Howell area, which is currently only accessible from westbound Interstate 96. [37]

The reconstruction of the Wixom Road interchange near Novi as a Single Point Urban Interchange is also planned in the future. [38]

Grand Rapids area work

The eastbound remodel starts north of Leonard St. Leonard St exit will be realigned and a new loop entrance ramp from Leonard to I-96 eastbound replaces the existing entrance. At the point where the present entrance from Leonard merges with the interstate, a new single lane exit to I-196 Westbound will be built at level ground. After the I-196 exit, the present freeway will be used as the M-37/M-44 exit ramp and a new 2 lane freeway will be constructed in the median. Through lanes and exit lanes will be built on level ground, passing under a new westbound 3-lane I-196 bridge before new Eastbound I-196 traveling lanes merge into the through lanes. I-96 passes under a widened M-37/M-44 bridge with 4 lanes and increases to 5 lanes with the M-37/M-44 entrance ramp. After passing over a railroad with an expanded bridge, I-96 drops 2 lanes for exits with M-21 (Fulton St). The present exit to eastbound M-21 will be retained in all aspects and a new exit to westbound M-21 built. An improved Michigan Left turn will be built about 100 feet (30 m) west of the present one for the connection from westbound M-21 to eastbound I-96. A new entrance from eastbound M-21 to eastbound I-96 will be built using almost all of the right of way. This section also adds a third eastbound traveling lane along with a weave merge lane to Cascade Rd. This ends the eastbound remodel.

Exit and Entry ramps from new (2006) 36th Street I-96 Interchange
Exit and Entry ramps from new (2006) 36th Street I-96 Interchange

The westbound remodel begins where the eastbound ends at Cascade Road. The entrance ramp from Cascade Road adds a westbound weave merge lane. A new westbound exit from the interstate to both east and west M-21 will be built. A minor adjustment of the present intersection maybe required but a new signal will be installed. Some right of way will be acquired to facilitate this new ramp and the retaining wall. When it passes over the railroad on its way to the M-37/M-44 interchange it will have a widened bridge for the new traveling lane. The present weave merge lane will be kept between M-21 and M-37/M-44. A modified exit ramp will be done for M-37/M-44. Just before the freeway goes under the bridge a new 2 lane freeway splits off from itself to move vehicles pass Leonard and all the weaving and merging from M-37/M-44, I-196, and Leonard St. This will take the two left lanes of traffic. After the split the current freeway alignment will be used as a weave and merge lanes. The next paragraph details all of the merging and weaving of that section.

The first merging traffic comes from North M-37/M-44 which place M-37 onto I-96 until Alpine Ave. The next merging traffic comes from South M-44. This will only require an addition of one lane. Midway between the M-37/M-44 and Leonard stretch of freeway the I-196 exit ramp will be built using a new bridge, with the exit around the present location. This bridge will carry 3 lanes of traffic and will be the official start of that interstate. The I-96 weave merge lane will be reduced at this point to 2 lanes. The 2nd lane on the right will be used as a splitter with traffic either staying on I-96 or going to I-196. This will give the southbound M-44 entrance ramp about the same amount of distance to merge into the 2nd lane to get onto I-196. After less than a quarter mile one lane of traffic will be split off and merged with new I-96 through lanes midway between Leonard and the splitting point. After that the new Eastbound I-196 to Westbound I-96 exit will be merged with the single weave merge lane just before Leonard St bridge. That exit ramp will go over 7 sets of freeway traffic using one long bridge. After the bridge the weave merge lanes will use the present Leonard St exit then become a single lane until the present Leonard St entrance ramp merges with it. After that merging it will finally merge with I-96 traffic. A final note is that the 2 lanes of through traffic for I-96 will use the present freeway at the point it gets a merging lane with the weave merge before Leonard. At that point an additional lane of traffic will be added to the present freeway.

The ability to add lanes between the present freeways in the median is possible since the width of the grassy median is over 50 feet (15 m).
