President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will be in Milwaukee Tuesday night for a campaign rally and while that means a lot of things to a lot of different people, it means one thing for everyone: traffic.

The following roads will be closed:

Drop-offs, such as rideshares, will be allowed to drop off at North Vel R. Phillips Street and West Highland Avenue. Those vehicles must enter from the east at Old World 3rd Street and West Highland Avenue.
Doors open at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena at 3 p.m. for President Trump's rally.
And if that wasn't enough, the Bucks also play at Fiserv Forum Tuesday night. Doors at Fiserv Forum are opening early at 5 p.m. in anticipation of heavy traffic. Fans are urged to show up to that game early to avoid the chaos
