Commuters are experiencing faster travel times now that certain ramps have reopened. A major reconstruction project had forced drivers to take detours, causing traffic to increase in surrounding areas. This project, which cost $280 million, had been underway for six months.

Businesses in the area were affected by the construction, with one owner noting that traffic backups were a significant issue. The owner of a treat shop on 11 Mile Road reported that traffic would often back up to Main Street.

Further details about the impact of the construction and reopening are available from the original report.
