Woodward lane closures start in Oakland County

Both sides of Woodward will have continuous and changing lane closures between 8 Mile and I-696 until late fall as bike lanes are added and other improvements are made.

Lanes will be closed on Woodward in Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge from now through late fall as part of a project that includes improvements and the removal of a lane on each side of the road.

The work began Monday morning. Both sides of Woodward will have continuous and changing lane closures between 8 Mile and I-696.

From 5 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays, there will be 2–3 lanes open. 

Between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. and on weekends, there will be only 1–2 lanes open. 

The project includes sidewalk upgrades, drainage improvements, resurfacing, installation of bike lanes, and signal work. Phase 1 was completed last year.
