Directions to Detroit Marriott Troy (Hotel)
Traffic Maps and Construction Projects / Michigan Department of Transportation
CONSTRUCTION ALERT - Those traveling by car via I-75 from the south will need to detour at some point due to construction. I-75 is completely closed for a few miles in downtown Detroit. You may follow the posted detour signs which will take you to I-275 North and then back to I-75 via I-94 East. Another shorter detour to consider is to stay on I-75 a little longer and get off on M-39 West, which is Southfield Rd in Allen Park. There will be about a 2 mile stretch of surface road in Allen Park but you will be able to get onto I-94 East sooner. In either case you will take I-94 East to Detroit to I-75 North to get to the hotel in Troy.

Taxi and Limousine Services
Those flying into the Detroit Metro Airport may want to consider coordinating a shared taxi ride to the Marriott hotel in Troy. Due to distance and current fuel prices the trip is costly.
If you want help finding others willing to share a ride to the hotel, as soon as you have booked a flight send an email to Patty Supnick at psupnick@dmc.org. Include: "08 Conf Transpo" in the subject line, information - airline, flight number, arrival day and time, and contact information.
We will send you the names of those arriving around the same time that are willing to share a ride. You may contact them and coordinate your trip to the hotel. We cannot guarantee a ride share so will let you know if there are none that have come to our attention.
