Storms in Detroit Cause Heavy Floods

This past week, the city of Detroit experienced heavy rain after a thunderstorm left the area soaked and eventually led to highway closures due to flooding. It wasn’t just one, but several scattered storms that left quite the impression on the city of Detroit. One report said that the storm produced a wide variety of downpour –from light showers to ¾ of an inch of rain per hour!

Many cars ended up getting stuck on the highway, their vehicles submerged in a flood that reached up to 14 ft. of water. The highway flooding caused several problems –drivers were either stuck in their cars or managed to escape and just leave their cars there. The city of Detroit ended up gathering a dive team to get a count of how many cars were submerged on the highway. Finally on Thursday, the highways were officially reopened and things went back to normal. Unfortunately, flood damage to your vehicle is hard to escape when submerged in water. Flood damage can range from issues with your motor, electronic units and connections, battery loss, engine and transmission problems, clutch problems, steering problems and so on. In the case that your car has driven through a flood or been stranded in one, it’s best to consult a mechanic to properly assess if there’s damage before it becomes serious.

Construction on the M-1 Rail Begins This Month

In 2007, the M-1 Rail project was started in an effort to help fuel economic development and urban renewal in Detroit, Michigan. The M-1 Rail circulates along Woodward Avenue between Larned Street and West Grand Blvd for a total of 3.3 miles. The project also helps modernize Detroit, provide an alternate form of transportation and become a foundation for growth throughout the city. 

After years of planning, construction for the M-1 Rail Streetcar is set to start in August and is projected to take about 27 months to complete. This will cause the southbound side of Woodward Ave. to be closed from August 2014 until April 2015 for the first phase of the reconstruction of the bridge. Other areas of the cities lanes are set to partially close during the construction process as well. Many locals in Detroit are excited about this M-1 Rail construction, but there are some who believe the 3.3 mile route is not long enough. Either way, the M-1 Rail will be serving 12 stops at 20 different stations, making it easy and safe for locals and visitors alike to travel around the city with ease.
