DETROIT – Beyoncé is set to take over Ford Field on Wednesday, and it’s sure to make for a busy night in Downtown Detroit.
Event details
Beyoncé is in Detroit as part of her Renaissance World Tour. Doors at Ford Field will open at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 26.
The concert begins at 8 p.m. There is no support act.
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 Madison Street.
