Monroe Ave NW partially closed this week for construction

Beginning TODAY, April 22, Monroe Ave. NW in front of DeVos Place will narrow traffic flow and temporarily close lanes.

The lane closures are expected to last through Friday, April 26.

The temporary lane closures will:

• Shift northbound and southbound traffic on Monroe Avenue to the western two lanes.
• Close the Silver Line station in front of the City and County buildings. A temporary bus stop will be added north near Michigan Street.
• Close the crosswalk to the main entrance of DeVos Place. The next crosswalk to the south will remain open.
• Close the Monroe Avenue entrance to the City and County buildings during active material lifts. During these intermittent closures, visitors may enter the buildings from the Government Center Ramp or the Calder Plaza entrance off Ottawa Avenue NW.

The lane closures – planned for April 22-26 – are necessary for onsite crane mobilization as crews remove the temporary air handling units from the roof of City Hall.
