SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) \u2014 Real Salt Lake is expected to welcome Lionel Messi and Inter Miami at America First Field this week, and the Sandy Police Department is warning fans and commuters alike to expect heavy traffic. <\/p>\n
Ahead of the game, Sandy PD said it would block the right-most southbound lane on State Street from 9100 South to just past 9300 South starting at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22. The left-hand turn lane from northbound State Street onto Rimando Way will also be closed at the same time. <\/p>\n
After the game, northbound Monroe Boulevard will be closed from Town Ridge Parkway to 9400 South and 9400 South will be closed to all westbound traffic at State Street. Rimando Way will be fully closed to any traffic trying to get to America First Field. <\/p>\n
The Sandy Police Department said the Auric Solar Lot, located at 9000 South and 75 West, will have one lane closed to allow cars to exit efficiently. <\/p>\n
To add to the commotion, patrons at the Hale Centre Theatre are expected to be leaving their shows around the same time as the game’s final whistle. To avoid heavy congestion, Sandy PD advised theatre patrons to leave the theatre on Monroe Boulevard. <\/p>\n
Police also expect parking at Jordan Commons, the Expo Center and the Auric Solar Lot to fill in quickly, advising soccer fans to arrive at the stadium early. <\/p>\n
Fans were also told to be aware of street vendors in the area and avoid ticket scams. <\/p>\n
“There will be a heavy police presence before, during, and after the game to help keep everyone safe,” Sandy PD said in a statement. “Let’s make it a great night for soccer and our community. Plan ahead, be patient, and look out for one another!”<\/p>\n
