The stretch of the current I-94 freeway from Ypsilanti to Detroit was one of the first American limited-access freeways. Henry Ford built it to link his factories at [[Willow Run]] and [[Dearborn, Michigan|Dearborn]] during [[World War II]]. It was called the [[M-112 (Michigan highway)|Willow Run Expressway]]. *{{jct|state=MI|I|696|name1=[[Walter Reuther]] Freeway}} runs east–west from the junction of I-96, I-275, and M-5 to I-94, providing a route through the northern suburbs of Detroit. *{{jct|state=MI|M|3|name1=Gratiot Avenue}} is a major road that runs from Marysville to downtown Detroit. The portion of the road between 23 Mile Road and New Haven Road is not numbered. Between New Haven Road and Main Street in the city of Richmond, the road is part of M-19. Between Richmond and Marysville the road is not numbered. *{{jct|state=MI|M|19}} starts in New Haven goes up Gratiot to Richmond. The route leaves Gratiot and goes northwest through Richmond and then north through Memphis. Then it goes north through St. Clair and Sanilac Counties and ends at M-142 near Bad Axe in Huron County. *{{jct|state=MI|M|29}} begins as part of 23 Mile Road, east of I-94, and ends in Marysville. *{{jct|state=MI|M|53}} which is called the Van Dyke Freeway and Christopher Columbus Freeway from 18 Mile Road in [[Sterling Heights, Michigan|Sterling Heights]] to 27 {{frac|1|2}} Mile Road in [[Washington Township, Macomb County, Michigan|Washington Township]].

Elliott Street in Detroit to Auburn Road north of M-59 in Shelby Township. It runs parallel to M-53/Van Dyke Road one mile to the west. Its massive stack interchange with I-696 is a remnant of a [[Highway revolts in the United States#Detroit|cancelled freeway upgrade]] that would've connected with a proposed extension of the [[M-8 (Michigan highway)|Davison Freeway]] on the south end and the M-53 freeway via a connector along the 18 1/2 Mile Road corridor on the north end. *"Mile" roads: Surface street navigation in Metro Detroit is commonly anchored by "mile roads," major east–west surface streets that are spaced at one-mile intervals and increment as one travels north and away from the city center. Mile roads sometimes have two names, the numeric name (ex. 15 Mile Road) used in Macomb County and a local name (ex. Maple Road) used in Oakland County mostly. {{Main|Mile Road System (Detroit)}} ===Rail=== Into the end of the 1950s the [[New York Central Railroad]] operated multiple trains from [[Mackinaw City]] at the north end of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, with stops at Warren station.<ref>New York Central timetable, July 12, 1959, Table 33 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_York_Central_timetable_effective_July_12,_1959.pdf</ref> The last Bay City to Detroit passenger train through Warren stopped on March 19, 1964.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.michiganrailroads.com/timeline/478-1960-1969/3695-timeline-1964 |title=Michigan Railroads Time Line, 1964}}</ref>
