I don't think any ring or loop road in the U.S. is going to be much of a sprawl barrier, but the western side (I-275) comes fairly close to the end of the Detroit urban area. Detroit sprawl now goes way north of I-696, but 696 is considered an unofficial dividing line between the inner and outer suburbs of Detroit. I would guesstimate that there are close to 3 million people living in the area enclosed by I-275 and I-696.
