WALKER, Mich. — Former President Donald Trump continues his bid to return to the White House with a campaign stop in West Michigan Friday. Here's what you need to know about the visit.

Trump is scheduled to speak at FALK Production, located at 1782 Northridge Drive NW in Walker, beginning at 2 p.m. Doors will open at 11 a.m. for the event.

Only people who've requested a ticket through the Trump Campaign will be allowed to enter.

All attendees will be required to park at the Deltaplex, then ride a shuttle out to FALK Production. Anyone who tries to arrive at the event's location will be turned away, according to Walker police.

No bags or purses will be allowed inside the facility. It is recommended you leave any bags in your vehicle.

There will be a handful of road closures on Friday. Bristol Avenue between 3 Mile Road and 4 Mile Road, and Northridge between Shipper's Drive and Bristol Avenue will both be shut down starting at 7 a.m. Friday. They are not expected to reopen until 5 p.m.

Temporary road closures will be in place to accommodate the former President's motorcade on its way to and from FALK Production.

School buses will run Friday afternoon, but some routes will be delayed.
