In 2007,
the M-1 Rail project was started in an effort to help fuel economic development
and urban renewal in Detroit, Michigan. The M-1 Rail circulates along Woodward
Avenue between Larned Street and West Grand Blvd for a total of 3.3 miles. The
project also helps modernize Detroit, provide an alternate form of
transportation and become a foundation for growth throughout the city.
After
years of planning, construction for the M-1 Rail Streetcar is set to start in
August and is projected to take about 27 months to complete. This will cause
the southbound side of Woodward Ave. to be closed from August 2014 until April
2015 for the first phase of the reconstruction of the bridge. Other areas of
the cities lanes are set to partially close during the construction process as
well. Many locals in Detroit are excited about this M-1 Rail construction, but
there are some who believe the 3.3 mile route is not long enough. Either way,
the M-1 Rail will be serving 12 stops at 20 different stations, making it easy
and safe for locals and visitors alike to travel around the city with ease.
