DETROIT (WWJ) - Winter weather brought the QLINE in Downtown Detroit to a sudden halt Wednesday morning.
QLINE service was temporarily suspended due to extensive flooding on Woodward Avenue caused by ice and slush buildup blocking catch basins near State Street, just north of Campus Martius.
It took crews a couple hours to clear the blockage but by 10 a.m., the QLINE was rolling again.
Rain and sleet started during the evening commute Tuesday and continued overnight as temperatures fell below freezing, leaving roadways slick and covered in ice.
Detroit Metro Airport was also closed for 14-hours due to the icy conditions. It shut down at 8 p.m. Tuesday and reopened with limited air traffic around 10 a.m. Wednesday. (More on this)
