Helicopter Flying over 3-Level Highway, circa 1940
01
Artifact Overview
Highway improvements helped wartime workers travel between downtown Detroit and Ford Motor Company's Willow Run bomber plant. The tri-level interchange seen here provided direct access to the factory from the Willow Run Expressway, opened in September 1942. The Willow Run Expressway also connected with the Detroit Industrial Expressway, built at the same time. These highways later evolved into Interstate 94.
