ANN ARBOR, MI -- A stretch of downtown Ann Arbor’s First Street will close to traffic starting Wednesday for construction.
First Street is closing for the Downtown Development Authority’s First and Ashley Improvements Project, which includes adding a protected bike lane between Kingsley and William streets and converting the road into a two-way traffic street between Kingsley and Madison streets.

The closure will be from Huron to William streets until September, according to a news release from the city.
Southbound traffic will be rerouted eastbound on Huron Street, southbound on Fourth Avenue, westbound on William Street, back to First Street.
Pedestrian traffic will be maintained on one side of the street.
The project includes a similar transformation on Ashley Street, with work there slated to begin in 2021. Ann Arbor will share costs with the Downtown Development Authority.

Ann Arbor will pay for water main consolidation work, underground stormwater improvements, 27% of the resurfacing costs, 100% of the IT conduit and a traffic signal upgrade.
