Woodward Ave construction starts Monday, both directions will permanently lose a lane

America's first paved road is about to lose a significant portion of roadway for drivers as construction starts on the historic highway.

Road work starts on Monday for the section of Woodward between 8 Mile and I-696 and will include resurfacing, curb improvements and adding bike lanes. But the biggest change will be the removal of a lane from each side of Woodward.

At a cost of $9 million, the work will be done in two phases with the majority happening in 2023.

The move is meant to accommodate more alternative means of transportation like bikes and scooters since fewer cars drive on Woodward.

Another big change coming is improvements to intersections. The new design will shift the crosswalk back from the road, allowing cars to pull past the crosswalk and not obstruct pedestrians while trying to turn onto Woodward.

Gas prices dip in Michigan, still above national average

There's a bit of good news on the gas front in Michigan as prices have dipped more than 15 cents per gallon over the past week. However, the state is still well above the national average due to a refinery fire in Toledo.

According to AAA, gas prices in Michigan are at $4.21 for a gallon of regular unleaded. Last week, Michigan was paying $4.36. But the gas prices are only cheaper by comparison to last week. A year ago, we were paying $0.90 cents less for a gallon of gasoline.

Michigan's gas prices are well below the national average of $3.89. This is due in large part to a refinery fire in Toledo that killed two in late September. The BP Husky Toledo plant refines some 160,000 barrels of oil a day, driving gas prices up in Michigan. The refinery isn't expected to open again until December.
