Southwest Detroit Truck Route Implementation Study

The City of Detroit is creating our first designated truck route network! And we need YOUR HELP to do it right.

The purpose of the Southwest Detroit Truck Network Implementation Study is to identify opportunities for the City of Detroit and its partners to better manage local truck activity through Southwest Detroit to reduce truck traffic impacts on the local community while preserving access and network connectivity. To achieve this, this study refines the Southwest Detroit trucking network as recommended in the 2021 Southwest Detroit Truck Route Study report, completed by Giffels Webster. This process included conducting a network analysis of the various generators in Southwest Detroit and identifying travel behavior to and from these generators, while also making recommendations based on travel behavior associated with restrictions caused by the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
