The City of Cleveland provides detour information and map to notify downtown travelers of the road closures to Lakeside Avenue and St. Clair Avenue in preparation for and through the All-Star Game week. Barriers have been constructed on Lakeside Avenue and St. Clair Avenue as there will be activities in Malls A, B, and C beginning next week.
Both the Lakeside Avenue and East 9th Street Willard Garage entrances will remain open to Willard Garage.
In order to travel from East 9th Street to Ontario Street travelers can drive north on East 9th Street (the official detour route) to Route 2 West and exit Route 2 at West 3rd Street. Travelers attempting to drive between Ontario Street and East 9th Street should drive north on West 3rd Street to Route 2 East and take the East 9th Street exit north.
Linked below here are the two press releases for the All-Star Game which will provide maps, event lists, a list of all road closures, parking restrictions, and information about vendors.

Very inconvenient for working downtown. I get closing the roads to traffic for set up but having to walk several blocks out of the way after parking to get to work location makes no sense. If there is no construction (zip line towers are all up) then why not let pedestrians walk through the areas until the events get started. it is OVERKILL once again.
