Summerfest access tips during construction:
The I-794 East exit to Lincoln Memorial Drive remains closed as is the Lincoln Memorial Drive entrance to I-794 West.
Although the Jackson / Van Buren Ramps are open they tend to become congested early. During peak travel times consider all the great alternate routes, allow yourself plenty of time and consider utilizing the great transit options to get to the fest.
