Driving around Detroit

I deliver parts for our machine shop. I make many trips a week down to the D and not in the 'nice' neighborhoods. I tend to stay off the expressways and run the Mile Rds. I, thank God, have never had any problems. I don't make any unnecessary stops and keep an eye on my surroundings.
That said, IMHO, running any expressway during the day, will be uneventful except for the pot holes and construction barrels.
BTW girl here with no CCW.

I-94 to I-75 -- we just did that from Toledo to Algonac last month. No problem in the middle of the day. The road was in better condition that the road around.

As Ron said. If you want the safest route use 275. If you want to take 75 pack your handgun. I worked in Hamtramck and packed a big lunch.

Just in case you decided to take 69 to 75/US23. Don't, construction at 96 and 23 is a mess.

I'll second that. It is my usual route to the Detroit airport.
I696 to I275 also works but it's about 10 miles further.
OP, stay on the freeways and avoid rush hours.
11am will be no problem.

Okay, thanks for the info. We'll give it a try.

Taking 94 to 696 to 96/275 should not be a problem at 11am.

You shouldn't have any problems driving through I-94/I-75 aside from construction barrels and our wonderful (sarcasm) roads.

I suppose you could head up 696 to 75, but I really don't think it matters much, unless it shortens your trip. You are bound to run into construction barrels and crappy roads either way.

We will be going thru around 11 am. If we just stay on the Interstate and don't get off we'll be ok? I've just heard so much negative about Detroit I wasn't sure.
