Drivers heading to downtown Orlando on Saturday should expect street closures and traffic delays as events take place at the Dr. Phillips Center, Inter&Co Stadium and Camping World Stadium.
According to WFTV, closures will affect portions of Rio Grande Avenue, Church Street, Norton Avenue, Coyler Street, Nashville Avenue, Anderson Street and Long Street. Parts of Tampa Avenue and Church Street are scheduled to close daily beginning at noon, while portions of Orange Blossom Trail will close at 11:30 p.m.
WFTV reported that Colonial Drive and John Young Parkway are expected to be the best alternate routes.
Backups are also expected on South Street between the State Road 408 exit and Division Avenue, including near the ThreatLocker and City Commons parking garages. Delays may occur at the eastbound I-4 off-ramp to South Street, the westbound off-ramp to West Anderson Street and the South Street express off-ramps.
The closures affect travel around several of downtown Orlando's major entertainment and sports venues, so visitors and residents traveling through the area Saturday may need extra time.
