Narrative:
This is written to point out what I feel is a hazardous problem at dtw (detroit metropolitan). Due to construction work, some taxiways are closed. After landing on 21L, aircraft are instructed to taxi on runway 27 and hold short of 21C. There are no markings or signs to identify runway 21C when taxiing on 27 going wbound. There is only the runway lights of 21C. I'm afraid sooner or later there may be another hazardous runway incursion here.
