DETROIT-Wayne County Executive Edward McNamara recently unveiled the final phase of Detroit Metro Airport’s “South Access Road” — a 10-year, $144-million project that will connect millions of travelers to the airport’s new Midfield Terminal. McNamara said the new roadway will link the airport’s existing terminal facilities with the new $1.2-billion, 97-gate Midfield Terminal being built for Northwest Airlines.

The four-mile-long, six-lane roadway runs north from I-275 and Eureka Road right up to the 2-million-sf Midfield Terminal. When completed, the road will allow motorists to access the airport from two major interstate freeways — I-94 and I-275. The link will definitely benefit the office and industrial development that is booming along the I-275 corridor, McNamara said.
