There will be detours until the concert traffic dies down, at which point police will re-open the road. Motorists are advised to avoid the area or look for alternate routes during these closures.
“We also remind concert goers to enjoy the show respectfully and responsibly,” police said. “Please ensure you have a safe and sober ride home.”
