Add to SetSummary
The cover of this 1955 brochure shows the recently completed intersection of the John C. Lodge Freeway (M-10) and the Edsel Ford Expressway (I-94) in downtown Detroit. This claims to be the first full freeway-to-freeway interchange built in the United States. It is easy to see on this cover how these freeways cut through urban neighborhoods.
