Work also will be done on five bridges and streetscape projects will be constructed in seven commercial corridors. Several projects already have started.

The city says Thursday that it will spend $100 million on the improvements through Detroit's share of state and federal roads funds and city bond funds.

Public Works Director Ron Brundidge said the infrastructure improvement program is Detroit's "most expansive in recent history."
