Traffic, detours

Fans heading to the concert should plan to get there early because of downtown events, construction, and road closures.

The Detroit Tigers play the Los Angeles Angels at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday, right across the street at Comerica Park. That will likely cause even more congestion in the Ford Field area.

The ramp from southbound I-375 to Madison Street is closed. Drivers should take southbound I-375 to Lafayette Avenue or westbound Macomb Street, or take Brush Street north to eastbound Madion Street.
