Archived News Release: July 21, 2014 - Main Street closures will be in effect Saturday, Aug. 2 for the International Champions Cup soccer event, which has a 4:06 p.m. game time, taking place at University of Michigan Stadium. These closures will also be in place for all U-M home football games and the Oct. 18 Slippery Rock vs. Mercyhurst game.
The scheduled closures (the same as those during the 2013 football season) are: 
- South Main Street between Pauline and Stadium.
- East Keech Street between South Main and Greene streets, limiting access to parking permit holders on Greene Street from East Hoover to Keech streets.
- The westbound right-turn lane on East Stadium Boulevard (onto South Main Street) just south of the Michigan stadium.

The duration of these closures will be three hours prior to each game — i.e., beginning at 1 p.m. on Aug. 2 — until the end of each game. The exception is southbound South Main Street, which will be closed one hour prior to the games (i.e., beginning at 3 p.m. Aug. 2) until the end of each game.
Fans travelling to and from the Aug. 2 soccer event should also be aware of Washtenaw County Road Commission construction on a popular thoroughfare in Ann Arbor. The Ann Arbor-Saline Road exit 175 from/to I-94 is under construction, with various lane closures. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes, such as: 
- From the north: M-14 exits 2 (Maple Road) or 3 (Downtown Ann Arbor).
- From the west: I-94 exit 172 (Jackson Road) (note: MDOT anticipates this exit will be accessible for the Aug. 2 game, weather permitting).
- From the east: US-23 exits 37B (Washtenaw Avenue), 39 (Geddes Road), or 41 (Plymouth Road).
