DETROIT -- One of 10 U.S. highways on a national teardown list for removal is in Detroit.

Detroit's aging I-375 expressway is among the list of urban highways inflicting damage on cities by creating pollution, limiting opportunity and connectivity, and isolating neighborhoods.

The list was released in a "Freeways without Futures 2017" report by Congress for the New Urbanism, which is a nonprofit working to build vibrant communities.

Rather than rebuilding the highway, the report says to replace it with a boulevard which could be a low-cost form of revitalizing cities. It will not only improve walkability but will avoid expensive maintenance fees, the report says.

In 2016, a study of alternatives for the I-375 corridor cited rebuilding the highway for $60 to $70 million, replacing it with a boulevard for $40 to $50 million, or a sunken greenway for $40 to $50 million.

The study was conducted through the Michigan Department of Transportation, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and Downtown Development Authority.

"Across the U.S., cities are grappling with what to do with crumbling and aging highway infrastructure: Do we rebuild or remove?" Lynn Richards, CEO of Congress for the New Urbanism, said in a news release. "Do we sink another 50 years of our resources into concrete and asphalt? Or do we invest in a beautiful, accessible, people-friendly alternative--and seize this opportunity to improve air and water quality, reconnect people to opportunity, reverse urban blight, and save millions in taxpayer dollars?"

The report sources highway teardown projects in San Francisco, Milwaukee and Chattanooga as examples of success.

"Replacing urban expressways with surface boulevards improves traffic distribution while saving tax dollars and adding value to local tax bases." former Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist said in a news release.
