FERNDALE, Mich. – Several bus stops along Woodward Avenue in Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge will be closed during the Woodward Moves construction project.
The bus stop closures will begin May 8 and they will remain closed through this fall. The Woodward Moves project began late last year and is now beginning a new phase of construction.
During this phase of construction, crews will be working on road and curb repairs in the right lanes of Woodward Avenue in both directions.
