Help with Showing Highway Closed

Post by Bikeguy64
M14 highway in Ann Arbor, Michigan has been closed between Maple and Main for 2 days. Waze still shows it as open and routes you through the closed roads. Makes it really hard to figure out which way is faster.

WB can still exit at Main. EB can still exit at Maple (Miller actually, with service drive to Maple).

I figured this is where the map editors with the access hang out, so I'd request the closure here.

If this is not the place, can the mods move this post.

Thanks.

Good news and bad news.

Good news is the push finally made it to my cell phone screen.

The bad news is the closure while headed westbound on M14 is not accurate.

Right now, Waze forces everyone off at the Whitmore Lake Road / Barton Drive exit. You are actually allowed to cross the bridge over the Huron River and get off at the Main Street exit. This will be allowed for the entire time of the construction project.

It looks like Main Street merging onto M14 EB is correctly mapped.

Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks. Looks like everything is properly marked as closed.

I can't believe a government agency had a bridge torn down and removed in less than 24 hours.

Good job, MDOT.

Dave,

Thanks for the message letting us know about the issues with the closure of M-14 in Ann Arbor. We currently show the correct segments as closed and livemap indicates that this closure should be being routed around.

If you are continuing to see something different in the app, would you please reply here and let me know.

Thanks

Closures adjusted, let me know if you still see any issues. Have fun with NB US-23 @ 8 Mile. Glad I live in GR.

M14 WB can exit at Barton (exit 4) and Main St (exit 3). Barton ramp onto M14 WB is closed as illustrated in the livemap.
M14 WB is closed past main.

Can we clean the map up? How many construction alerts do we need?

Thanks for the help

It is indeed surprising!

But as the poor guys insurance has to pay for it now, MDOT could afford the "do it now" price increase....
