US-12 Detroit Mobility and Innovation Corridor - Corktown
About this project
The Detroit Mobility and Innovation Corridor (DMIC) Project will involve rebuilding and repurposing a 2-mile stretch of US-12 (Michigan Avenue) in Corktown. Located between I-96 and M-1 (Woodward Avenue), the project is designed to make the Corktown neighborhood more accessible to accommodate more residential and commercial development. Adjacent to the historic Michigan Central Station, the project supports advanced mobility initiatives while building a shared-use corridor that will include nonmotorized facilities and other aspects of roadway design to maintain the corridor's unique and historical feel.
The project will improve transit travel time reliability and convenience, and create bicycle facilities for all ages and abilities.
