Detroit’s Dangerous Crossings Get Major Fix | Detroit News

Detroit drivers are paying the price for dangerous railroad crossings—wide gaps are blowing out tires and costing families hundreds of dollars. One resident lost three tires on her way to work. City council just approved a $6 million contract to fix these aging crossings as part of the federal CLEAR Detroit initiative, which includes rebuilding bridges and relocating tracks. While design work begins now, construction won’t start for 3-5 years. In the meantime, officials are exploring temporary fixes and negotiating with railroads. Residents are demanding action, launching letter-writing campaigns to push for safe, reliable roads—basic infrastructure they deserve.
