Dexter Road westbound is closed near Maple Road. Maple Road is down to two lanes, one each direction. This is supposed to last a week or so.

There are a few other restrictions:

• Going Eastbound on Dexter: You may not turn left onto northbound Maple. You can go straight or turn right.
• Going Westbound on Dexter: You must turn.

Northbound Maple is backing up heavily at rush hour due to merging down to one lane. Eastbound Dexter doesn’t look too bad; I think people are avoiding it completely.

The AATA #9 is picking up and dropping off on the west side of Maple, just south of Dexter (the Plum Market stop).

Now then, I’m not going to draw maps, but to get around this mess, try Jackson Road for getting to points west, or Miller Road, depending on where you’re coming from/going to. And for the hyperlocal who live near the intersection on Dexter (and who are not thrilled about going all the way out and around to Wagner on Jackson or Miller), try going north on Maple and then west on either Hollywood or Abbott (if the traffic is too backed up at Hollywood). You can snake back down on Allison or other side streets to get to Dexter.
