If you don't have to drive through this area then don't but if you need to there are numerous detours. First, if you are going westbound you will be detoured south on N. Cedar St. to Oakland Ave. Next, if you are going eastbound you will be detoured south on N. Capitol Ave. to Saginaw St. You can see more detours and other ways to avoid it here.
The road construction and maintenance should be going on through the summer with the work hopefully done by August 9th. More on it here.
