The Michigan Dept. of Transportation has listed all of the planned "American Recovery & Reinvestment Act" [[ARRA) transportation projects on this PDF document. A little calculator work yields the following facts:
Wayne County has 65 projects listed that are worth a total of $136 million.

Oakland County has 39 projects listed that are worth a total of $130 million.

25 of the Wayne Co. projects are within the city of Detroit and they are worth a total of $73 million.

14 of the Oakland Co. projects are north of 14 Mile Rd. and east of Telegraph and they are worth a total of $107 million [[$80 million of that will be spent on just three M-59 projects).
All of these projects were supposedly "shovel-ready", but with a total of $350 million worth of projects identified in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and St. Clair Counties, there is probably more work than can be done simultaneously by the existing contractors. Therefore, the projects that were truly "shovel-ready" will be the ones which get started first.
