Drivers are encouraged to follow the posted detours. Visitors will still be able to access the hotel parking ramp but Amway Grand Plaza's turnaround on Pearl Street will be limited to cars entering from Monroe Avenue.
Also, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Grand Rapids Public Museum will remain accessible on Front Avenue.
