Talk:M-10 (Michigan highway)

Construction
Can we get info about the construction of the freeway put up? I understand that Jefferson-Hamilton was the first stretch, with the Couzens portion from Wyoming to 8 Mile coming later, as can be noted by the distinctive retaining walls. MMetro (talk) 02:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced recollections by a former Detroiter: The short stretch near Hamilton (not penetrating downtown) came first, in early 1950s; then shortly thereafter the east-west section from Linwood to Wyoming. (These segments used to be identifiable by a distinctive style of street-name signs on the overpasses.) Originally there was a northbound exit at Greenlawn Ave (near Livernois), which was closed because of neighborhood objections. In the early 1960s came the link between Linwood and Hamilton, and the southernmost portion past Cobo down to Jefferson (shown in a car chase in the movie Blue Collar). Next, in mid/late 1960s, the canyon segment down the middle of James Couzens; and the conversion of Northwestern Highway to freeway as far as Tel-Twelve Mall. Conveniently, the Southfield freeway was built at about the same time, so the interchange at 9 Mile was part of the bargain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.99.34.6 (talk) 03:21, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Can someone find documentation of this so we can put it in the article? The "construction" subsection should be chronologically.  As it is now it's a little jumbled and out of order. --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:09, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
