Two easterly views as Interstate 94 passes underneath of the Airport Road overpass. An astute observer will notice the hazard striping that is still faintly visible on both the southern embankment and the central pier. The section of Interstate 94 through Western Jackson was completed in 1952, and pre-dates the Interstate era. While I have never seen photographs of Interstate 94 from the 1950s, I would suspect that the hazard striping that is still faintly visible would have been nearly the only protection motorists were given between their car and the bridge. |

Advanced signage for the Cooper Street interchange just ahead of the Lansing Avenue overpass. This narrow stretch of Interstate 94 opened in 1952, before the Interstate-era, and was designated as US-12. |

Easterly view as Interstate 94 passes through the Cooper Street overpass. The telephoto lens exaggerates the tight geometry of the freeway as it runs through Jackson, however, it is still painfully obvious that this section of I-94 is substandard to modern interstate geometry as the freeway passes through the city. |

Eastbound signage at the ramp to US-127 South. US-27 South meets I-94 at a trumpet interchange. US-127 continues as a freeway around the eastern side of the City of Jackson, before narrowing to a conventional at-grade highway south of the city. |

Eastbound view approaching the Jackson Road / Old US-12 interchange. The original alignment of US-12 followed today's Jackson Road and Old US-12. Before the completion of I-94 in the early 1970's US-12 paralleled I-94 very closely. In fact, some sections of today's interstate were actually built in advance of Eisenhower's network of Interstate highways to serve as by-passes for US-12. Upon completion of I-94 across Southern Michigan, the existing alignment of US-12 was turned back to local control, and the US-12 designation was moved to what had previously been US-112 several miles to the south. |
