I-75 Cap Public Survey

The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) is co-leading the I-75 Cap Study with the City of Detroit and Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). During this Study, we want your help exploring cap options to determine where in the Study Area a cap could have the most impact! The Study Area extends from 3rd Avenue on the west to Brush Street on the east. Due to engineering and cost constraints, it is unlikely for a cap to be built over the entire downtown portion of I-75.

We are currently in the second of three rounds of engagement taking place during the summer and fall of 2024. For more information on the project, please visit the project website here: www.downtowndetroit.org/i75cap.

Caps are structures built over highways. Many capping projects are currently being planned and constructed across the country, partially in thanks to Federal U.S. Department of Transportation Reconnecting Communities Grant Program funding. See the image below for an example of a highway cap completed in Dallas, Texas (Klyde Warren Park).
