RICHMOND, Va. – GRTC is advising riders to expect service delays on roads surrounding and near the Richmond Coliseum Friday, in preparation for the Donald Trump event being held.

The bus service says bus detours and temporary bus stop closures will occur as a result of street closures around the venue.

There will also be a high volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

“Police will assist with traffic control, and there may be unexpected additional street closures, bus stop temporary closures and bus detours, as dictated by local authorities or Secret Service,” GRTC said in a press release. “Additionally, some GRTC service may be stopped temporarily when Secret Service is in motion with Mr. Trump. GRTC encourages customers to follow local news outlets for frequent event updates.”

Street closures are expected as follows on June 10, 2016:

Leigh Street between 4th and 8th Streets: CLOSED 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM

8th Street between Leigh and Marshall Streets: CLOSED 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
