Downtown Streets Closing for President Biden’s visit Thursday; SU443 Centro Shuttle Detours

Please be aware if you are traveling in downtown Syracuse today:

The main streets impacted are parts of North and South Franklin Street, Walton Street and West Jefferson Street.

There will be no parking allowed on the streets starting at 10 p.m. Wednesday. Cars that remain in the areas will be towed starting at 5 a.m. Thursday, police say.

All the streets will also be closed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.

The Warehouse Centro shuttle (SU443) will also be affected by street closures – the shuttle will not be able to drop riders off directly at the Warehouse and the route will need to detour slightly due to the street closures.

Traffic Patterns After the Concert

Syracuse University’s Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will make a temporary change to campus traffic patterns following the conclusion of the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at the JMA Wireless Dome.

Just as they did after previous events, as the concert ends, PTS and the Syracuse Police Department will close Comstock Avenue to all traffic except parking shuttles, which will travel between the College Place bus stop, the Colvin Street and Comstock Avenue lots, and the Skytop Lot.

The concert is anticipated to end between 10 and 11 p.m., and at that time, PTS will direct all traffic away from Comstock Avenue between Waverly Avenue and East Colvin Street. This will allow for the efficient exit and transportation of the concert attendees from the shuttle stop at College Place to their parking lots on South Campus.

The road will reopen as soon as the concert shuttles are cleared. Regular shuttles to South Campus and other campus shuttles will continue to run during and after the event, though arrivals and departures may be delayed due to the large amount of vehicular traffic in the University area.
