By a private company, the line was soon expanded with wooden planks, 1836 between Detroit and Farmington and 1851 finally to Lansing. The Grand River Road was a toll road as long as profitable as was a stagecoach connection between Detroit and Lansing. As the railroads developed into the most important means of transport after the Civil War, the road has been neglected.
