I drove on this on Tuesday for the first time since 2007.I remember when they put this in,and can't for the life of me think of good reason why they did this.The road,M-14,has been crap since around 1982 when the truckers found out about this shortcut/bypass of I-94.
A good example of a well built road is I696 thru Farmington Hills.They redid this in 1983,and the condition is very good.
