Where Is It?
Re: Where Is It?
I agree, it's definitely the lead into Fermi. I ride my bike over that crossing quite often.
Re: Where Is It?
Good job guys. Newport South Road is the exact spot.

Re: Where Is It?
Thank you. I think the last train down the Whiting Spur was about 5-6 years ago.

Re: Where Is It?
The road, bridge and building in the background are all still in use. This should be an easy one for DaveO.

I swear I know the overpass, But I’m forgetting where exactly, I’m going to throw Battle Creek and The west side of Detroit out there for my guesses

My first thought was in front of the Toledo Zoo, and my second was where Southfield Freeway begins/ends in Allen Park because that photo looks like one I've seen before I-94 was built. I think both are wrong because of that building in the background.
Re: Where Is It?
Wait, this isn't I-75 looking south from MCS is it?
Edit: Nevermind, that building in the background isn't there.

Looks like the ...Biscuit... building in the background.

North view of the High Line crossing the John C. Lodge Freeway.
Likely at the time of the photo it carried no route designation.
Now is M-10.
Building in the background is the National Biscuit Company Factory.

Re: Where Is It?
Son of a b*#ch I looked right over that too. The curve in the road threw me off.
Re: Where Is It?
The road no longer curves there, that's why I dismissed it.
