Presidential Visit to Impact Numerous MCTS Bus Routes

Several MCTS bus routes, including the downtown Summerfest Shuttle and Brewers Line will be impacted by this week’s presidential visit. 

A portion of Wisconsin Avenue is scheduled to shut down between 11 am June 27 and 4 pm June 28. 

During the closure, MCTS buses (Summerfest Shuttles, Brewers Line, regular routes and Freeway Flyers) will be detoured off of Wisconsin Avenue between Broadway and Jackson/Van Buren Street. Buses will use Kilbourn Avenue to get around the closure.

Riders are encouraged to use regular stops on Wisconsin Avenue east and west of the impacted area or temporary stops on Kilbourn Avenue, look for temporary signs.

There may also be other street and freeway closures during the two-day visit, especially while the presidential motorcade travels between locations. Bus riders and drivers should prepare for possible delays and detours.

Anyone heading to Summerfest or the Big Bang fireworks on Wednesday night can leave the complicated travel logistics to us! MCTS has countless ways to get to the world’s largest music festival, including our popular Summerfest Flyers, which provide service to and from 10 Park-Rides.
