Summary
Wichita police said a presidential visit Monday afternoon and evening could cause major delays across the city, potentially affecting all major highways.
Operational security limits what officials can disclose, so police urged commuters to leave early for the evening drive and expect disruptions.
Heartland Credit Union Arena parking is extremely limited, with attendees directed to overflow parking at Gilley’s Park City Gambling Hall, 1500 E. 77th St. North.
Shuttle buses will run from Gilley’s to the arena, and Uber and Lyft users are also told to use Gilley’s for pickup and drop-off rather than trying to reach the venue directly.
Road closures and traffic restrictions are planned around the arena, while special guest and ADA parking will still use the entrance at 85th Street North and Arena Drive.
