This is emblematic of the entire Michigan infrastructure. Numerous free-way overpasses were actually condemned, IIRC.

It’s a mess all over. Everyone knows about the roads, of course. Governor Whitmer’s campaign slogan was Just Fix The Damn Roads! She ran into a Republican roadblock with her proposed $.47/gal. gasoline tax which was being revived by formulating yet another shell game when boom, the plague hits us right in the berries.

Alden B Dow was a prolific modern architect 1930’-60’s of the style of Michigan Modern. His home in Midland, now called the Midland Center for the Arts, reminded me of Frank Wright. Anyways, a sitting room (or lounge or whatever he called it) had windows along one wall of which the bottom sills were level with a pond so that when you stood looking out you were eye-level with the surface of the pond! Probably not today, though.

I really don’t have any idea how Michigan is gonna dig out of this mess. Apparently no one else at this point does either.
