Interstate 696 (abbreviated I-696) is an interstate highway entirely within the U.S. state of Michigan. I-696 is also known as the Walter P. Reuther Freeway, named for a prominent figure in early automobile factory labor union activity. I-696 is a spur route, partially circling the city of Detroit, but traveling entirely through Detroit's northern suburbs. It starts by branching off of Interstate 96 at the west end and ends by merging into Interstate 94 on the east end. It has 6–8 lanes for most of its length and is approximately 10 miles north of downtown Detroit. It is a major morning and evening commute route, bringing many people living west of Detroit into the suburbs north of the city and into downtown Detroit via other Michigan highways such as M-10 ("The Lodge" freeway) and M-39 (The Southfield freeway). Some local residents affectionately call this freeway "The Autobahn of Detroit."[1] Image File history File links I-94. ...

I-696 is part of the original Interstate highway system as outlined in 1956-58, with the first portion opening in 1962, then the eastern third between I-75 and I-94 in early 1979, and the middle portion of I-696 between Telegraph Road and I-75 was completed in December 1989.


The segment of I-696 located between the Mixing Bowl and I-75 is known for its extensive use of retaining walls and three large landscaped caps. As a consequence of those beautification features, explosive flammable cargoes are banned on that segment. Mixing Bowl is a nickname for the following highway interchanges: The confluence of Interstate 696, US-24, M-10, 11 Mile Road, Lahser Road and Franklin Road in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. ... A retaining wall is a structure to provide a barrier to downslope movement of soil, rock, or water. ...


As part of the overall rehabilitation to the Mixing Bowl interchange, a new partial interchange at Franklin Road has been constructed. An exit ramp from I-696 eastbound to American Drive opened in April 2006. An entrance ramp from Franklin Road to I-696 westbound opened in July 2006. The Franklin Road overpass re-opened in October 2006.[2] Mixing Bowl is a nickname for the following highway interchanges: The confluence of Interstate 696, US-24, M-10, 11 Mile Road, Lahser Road and Franklin Road in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. ...


I-696's western terminus is also the northern terminus of I-275, making this junction one of the few (perhaps the only) points that is the terminus of two three-digit Interstate Highways with different parents. This Interstate Highway article needs to be cleaned up to conform to both a higher standard of article quality and accepted design standards outlined in the WikiProject U.S. Interstate Highways. ...


Construction of I-696 took much longer than expected and went over budget. The major contributors to this were the Pleasant Ridge and Detroit Zoo lawsuits to stop construction of the freeway. Another was the fact that the eastern end of I-696 was constructed in place of many neighborhoods, many of which were less than 10-15 years in age. In fact, some of the neighborhoods in the Hoover and Van Dyke area were under construction at the same time as the I-696 project which led to confrontations between the two construction projects meaning that it ended up costing more to purchase the land. Pleasant Ridge is a city located in Oakland County, Michigan. ... The Horace Rackham Memorial Fountain, Corrado Parducci, sculptor The Detroit Zoo is located in suburban Royal Oak, Michigan, USA.

For a short time in the 1970s, M-6 was used in place of the routing for the segment under construction east of I-75. It was unclear whether the lawsuits would force the center segment to be canceled, which would have left the I-696 freeway discontiguous. M-6 signs were erected on both the frontage roads and the divided road of 11 Mile at Mound Road. M-6, or Paul B. Henry Freeway, is a 20 mile (32 km) long freeway serving the southern portions of Grand Rapids, Michigan. ...
