MIDVIA Update: We've narrowed down proposals, and will be working with the finalist designers on next steps for the viaducts! We thank everyone for their proposals and patience. We are pioneering in the city in terms of the scope of the project, and it has taken a bit longer than we anticipated. Stay tuned for an official announcement regarding which projects the railroad companies and City of Detroit approve for installation!
