I don't know and also think it's a non-issue. Michigan doesn't do spectacularly well at road maintenance anywhere... It seems the state is best at building new and unnecessary roads [[or adding unnecessary road capacity) and letting the old stuff rot for as long as possible.

But for the purposes of Detroit, you can drive clear across that city at any time of the day and almost never hit any type of congestion whatsoever. I don't think that completely eliminating congestion by flooding the area with road capacity is the best use of resources within a city. Roads are not created in a vacuum. Adding lanes does take from something else.
