Only the unsigned I-878, I-110, and I-315 are shorter. I-375 is the southernmost leg of the Walter P. Chrysler Freeway. It is a spur off I-75 into downtown Detroit to end at the unsigned Business Spur Interstate 375 (BS I-375), better known as Jefferson Avenue. The freeway starts near the Renaissance Center downtown and turns northward. Between 14,000 and 54,000 vehicles use I-375 on average each day.
