The site of that photo is Michigan Avenue and Oakman Street in Dearborn, facing east. The closer overpass (there are two) has a highway-department plaque saying that it was rebuilt in 1945 or so. Two of my five Dearborn uncles owned a store two blocks west of that intersection.
I actually walked some ten years ago along the entire route of that long-ago abandoned stretch of the DTR from the CP-LOU intersection of the Michigan Line (roughly Southern Street in Dearborn--that street in Detroit is named John Kronk--and Wyoming, just east of the Dearborn Ford River Rouge plant, which now builds F-150s) north to Ford Road--three blocks north of Michigan Avenue.
Ford used that line a lot before 1927, before it moved out of its Highland Park plant to the Rouge after it stopped making the Model Ts there. My grandfather worked at the Rouge since the 1920s. In 1929, there were 129,000 workers at the Rouge plant.

These photos were taken at CP-LOU during 1979 and earlier.

BTW, my house is one of only a dozen on a dead-end street in Livernois Yard. Livernois Yard at one time was a 36-track hump classification yard that controlled Junction Yard (Michigan Line), which itself is just a few hundred feet from here. Now, Junction Yard is mostly ancient history...
