If you're heading to Detroit this week, you'll have to work around some street closures.
With streets in the downtown core occupied for this weekend's Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear, there is a series of closures in effect.
The following streets and spaces in downtown Detroit are now closed and will remain so until Wednesday, June 5.
Atwater from Riopelle to Hart Plaza
Bates from Jefferson to Atwater
Eastbound Jefferson Avenue from the Lodge Freeway to Rivard
Westbound Jefferson Avenue between Rivard and Washington Boulevard
Woodward Avenue from State to Jefferson
Cadillac Square, west of Bates
Campus Martius
These street closures take effect Wednesday and end Monday.
Renaissance Drive West
Franklin between Rivard and St. Antoine
Rivard between Jefferson and Atwater
St. Antoine between Jefferson and Atwater
Commuters are encouraged to use the Q-Line rapid transit system and the People Mover to get around the closures.
Transit Windsor will offer the tunnel bus to Detroit, but a detour is in effect.
Buses will drop off passengers only at the Mariners Church stop until after the Grand Prix.
Transit Windsor reported on Wednesday morning that starting Monday and ending Sunday, June 9, there will be an additional detour. For northbound use, the regular route will proceed to Jefferson Avenue, continue on Jefferson, then go left on Beaubien, left on Congress, right on Washington Boulevard, then back to the normal route.
Southbound tunnel bus use next week will involve taking the regular route to Washington Boulevard, then left on Larned, right on Randolph, and then back to the normal route.
The IndyCar race is downtown for the second year in a row, after being on Belle Isle for some years.
Complete information about the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix can be found on its official website.
The City of Windsor is once again acting as a sponsoring partner of the race.
