AUGUST 20 UPDATE – the location of the work has moved, and Ridge will now be completely closed at the Oakland Park intersection.
Two additional points on Ridge will have barricades, but local access maintained:
Advance warning signs will also be posted at Millington Road and Poplar Park Boulevard at Woodward to try to minimize cut-through traffic before it gets to the closure.
