Thank for posting this! First time I've heard this. This might make traffic difficult in the Lafayette Park area. Good to know.

So that's why southern Woodward and perpindicular streets were blocked yesterday and this morning respectively.

And the strange wooden ramp on the S.E. corner of E. Jefferson & I-375.

What a mess. I came out of the tunnel and traffic was a disaster. I wanted to use 375 saw it was closed - but then was OK with heading south on Jefferson to the Lodge. Except that turn around was also blocked. Lots of traffic trying to get to 75 so I went up Jefferson and eventually picked up 94. Between that and the bridge back ups due to Canada Day weekend traffic, I was glad to get home and stay there!
