Referring to the Davison Freeway and the unbuilt Mound Road Freeway as two separate things is a little misleading. The overall plan was for effectively a single freeway that would start at the I-96/Davison interchange on the west side, proceed as an expressway along the current alignment of Davison Avenue, then turn north along the current Mound Road alignment [[again, as an expressway) to the existing Mound/696 interchange. Presumably there would have been exits for people who wanted to proceed further east on Davison Avenue or south on Mound Road. I never saw any plan taking the Davison Freeway east past Mound, as a freeway.

Mayor Young correctly saw one major effect of this as the utter destruction of the Davison business strip, which was then still pretty healthy, and was instrumental in killing it.
