Specifically the stretch between Michigan and Lafayette, where the road reaches 8[[!!) lanes in width for just those three blocks.
Just curious if anyone knows the history of this. It's so odd because the wide boulevard doesn't really connect to anything over there. Even by the larger complexes [[DTE, MGM, Huntington Place) it goes back down to a more normal 4 lanes wide.
Was something planned here at one point that was expected to bring lots of traffic, but never came to fruition? That's the only reason I can think of.
