That thing was supposed to hit during the UM/ND football game. It's timing is way off.

I probably saw it, too, but dismissed it as another car driving past the house.

NB stretch between 17 & 18 is particularly brutal these days.

I'm bummed hubby and I didn't see/hear it. We saw people posting about it 20 min after it happened. And we just hanging out in our living room during that time.

Mound is shit, Schoenherr is shit, and so is 16 mile. They all need to be redone and not just filled. Which will seriously fuck traffic over but it's a must.

It's shit north from 14 Mile. South of 14 (Warren side) is great because it got entirely re-paved a few years ago. The worst is NB between 15 & 16. So bad that my anti-lock brakes go on from loss of traction (even when the road is dry) when slowing to enter our complex.

I haven't been south of 17 since mid December. I'm not going there anytime soon after reading your post.

I drive 16 primarily between Dequindre and Mound. They replaced many sections of concrete on the EB side east of Deq last summer which made it a lot better. Why Sterling Heights didn't do more work on Mound made zero sense. The roadway is going to be nearly undriveable by the end of this winter.

That would be ideal for Mound Road if it does 50-60 mph.
