James Couzen Highway

[Dexlin]

Thanks, animatedmartian. Those photos and your commentary answer my first question pretty well. However, you say it was laid sometimes between 1915 and 1925 in the first part of your post, but then show photos of it "freshly built" in the 30's. This is all the James Couzen portion we're talking about, right? So, which time period was it built? I'm only interested in the highway within the city of Detroit proper [[where it's named the James Couzen).

I look forward to see if anyone can come up with any information on my second question of when and how it was connected with the Lodge at Wyoming before it was ultimately entrenched.

I've always been interested in the history of this area as I had relative who lived off the Lodge near its intersection with 7 Mile, and other's near Wyoming. Anyway, thanks again for the old aerials. I'm a bit surprised at how huge that median is. To be honest, it looks like quite a waste of space.

EDIT: I went to that site you linked to to look up some photos, and it seems the highway [[in Detroit proper) was still under construction in 1930:
