Traffic hassles near Main St. and Huron River Drive start tomorrow

Yes, lucky fans of construction projects running for two years, Ann Arbor has a doozy. Huron River Drive from Main St (right before M-14 interchange) all the way out to Bird Rd. will be rebuilt and it will take two years to finish. Our friends at the A2 News tell us:

"About one half of the work will be done by mid-September, after which the road will be reopened for the fall and winter. The second half of the $3.7 million project will be done next year. During construction, eastbound traffic will be detoured using Maple Road, Dexter Avenue, Huron Street and Main Street. Westbound traffic will be detoured using Main Street, Miller Avenue and Maple Road."

Commute accordingly

A portion of Huron River Drive will be CLOSED this spring

Huron River Drive will be closed between Main Street and Bird Road from May or June until sometime in November as the crumbling road is rebuilt.

Protecting the wetlands with "geo-textile" drainage pipes, yadda yadda yadda, NO new marking for bike lanes yadda yadda yadda, 1.3$ million yadda yadda yadda.
