Detroit Grand Prix road closures beginning for this weekend's races
Detroit Grand Prix: Busy roads closing for races
Ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix in Detroit, some major roads downtown are starting to close. Part of the city will serve as a racetrack for the popular event.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Getting around Downtown Detroit is going to be a bit more complicated for a while as part of the area is transformed into a racetrack.
Final preparations are underway for the Detroit Grand Prix, including the closure of numerous roads Tuesday. The Grand Prix is May 29-31, but road closures are slated to stretch beyond that window.
While roads will be closed, those needing to get around the city can still use the People Mover, SMART and DDOT buses, Transit Windsor, and the QLINE to get where they can't in a car.
