Detroit Traffic Lights Before & After Upgrades 6

Welcome to Part 6 of the Before and After series! In this episode, I take you through another round of major traffic signal transformations across Detroit. This compilation focuses heavily on the massive overhauls along the Gratiot Avenue and Michigan Avenue corridors, as well as some unique spots in the New Center area. Watch as I document the removal of the old span wire systems and the installation of the modern mast arms, updated LED modules, and safer pedestrian infrastructure. This video includes the critical upgrade at Fort & Dearborn in Southwest Detroit and the bustling intersection of Gratiot & Mack.

📍 Location: Various locations across Detroit Michigan (Wayne County)

This video captures several key intersections on Gratiot (Chene, McDougall, Mack), showing the consistent modernization of this major radial avenue. The Pallister St Crosswalk segment highlights specific improvements for foot traffic in the New Center neighborhood. The upgrades at Fort & Dearborn and along Michigan Avenue show how the city is improving infrastructure in heavy truck routes.
