If you are heading to the game, please be aware of the following details and road closures and consider allowing more travel time to account for the closures, busier than usual traffic and reduced street parking.

Pedestrian Access and Parking
Pedestrians will not be allowed to cross Portage Avenue during the closure. If you park north of Portage Avenue, you will need to access the skywalk system from Portage Place in order to cross Portage and access the venue. All mall doors will be open to access the skywalk.
Access to key parkades south of Portage and in proximity to Canada Life Centre will not be disrupted. It is anticipated that street parking will be at a minimum.
All streets will be fully reopened in time for the end of the Jets game, and traffic will return to normal for your route home.
