This construction causes major lane closures, detours, and heavy delays immediately east of the stadium. Fans are strongly encouraged to completely avoid the I-375 corridor and utilize alternate routes like I-75, Woodward Avenue, or Grand River Avenue to approach downtown.
  • From I-75 North (from the south/west)
