Spring Commencement activities on Saturday morning will result in some changes to traffic and parking near Michigan Stadium.

Gates will be open at 8 a.m. and the ceremony will last from approximately 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. During this time, all streets except Kipke Drive and East Keech Street will be open to traffic as usual.

Kipke will have restricted access while traffic on East Keech will remain two-way with limited access.

A heavy volume of graduate and guest foot traffic is anticipated from Central Campus to Michigan Stadium, and traffic congestion should be expected in the stadium area.

Ann Arbor-Saline Road between Eisenhower Parkway and Lohr Road is under construction, and access to I-94 from the stadium area will be detoured to the South State Street on-ramps via South Main Street and Eisenhower Parkway.

U-M Transportation will provide round trip shuttle service from all major hotels and designated commuter lots.

More information on commencement event parking and bus route maps are posted on the Spring Commencement website.
