Road closure plan in place for Taylor Swift concert
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Taylor Swift and her fans will encounter detours on the roads to and from her upcoming concerts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s primary suggestions: Plan ahead. Think about taking a bus or using rideshare options to avoid parking congestion.
Special Operations Commander Chuck Deblaso of IMPD said Friday, “This is an event city. This is huge. Make no mistake about it, there is going to be a lot of people in a small area. It could be upwards to 200,000 people.”
IMPD announced an extensive list of road closures plus a map with a drop-off site, a rideshare pickup site, and “parent pick-up” lots from Nov. 1-4. A news release from IMPD said, “With hundreds of thousands of fans expected in Swift City, these closures are intended to ensure the safety of concertgoers and community members.”
Police in the release also asked Swifties to “keep in mind that traffic and road closures may change based on real-time conditions.”
