Woodward Avenue in Detroit should be free of orange barrels and open to traffic in the days before Thanksgiving as construction of M-1 Rail's QLine streetcar project enters its final months, project organizers said Thursday.

Behind the scenes, the project is seeking to raise millions of dollars for a reserve fund intended to cover operations for the 6.6-mile loop's first 10 years of passenger service, which is expected to begin in early 2017 — possibly as soon as April, if the system passes more than 1,000 state and federal tests.
