Streets Near U.S. Bank Stadium to Close for Weekend Concerts

The city of Minneapolis will close several streets around U.S. Bank Stadium for Friday's Luke Bryan concert and Saturday’s Metallica concert.

Fourth Street will close at Park Avenue at 6 p.m. today and 3 p.m. on Saturday, according to a news release. The street will reopen 30 to 45 minutes after each concert.

Chicago Avenue, from Fourth Street to Sixth Street, was closed at noon Friday and will remain closed until after Saturday’s concert.

These street closings are for traffic safety and security needs related to the large stadium events and are similar to ones that will be in place for upcoming Minnesota Vikings football games.

Drivers should also be aware that westbound Washington Avenue, from Portland Avenue to Hennepin Avenue is closed for street reconstruction. Traffic is being detoured onto Third Street South at Portland Avenue.
