Women's March on Madison Traffic Impacts

posted 

The Women’s March on Madison will be held downtown this Saturday, January 21. The march is scheduled to start at Library Mall, 728 State Street, at noon. Participants are then expected to march up State Street to the State Capitol. Traffic delays are expected for those driving downtown on Saturday between noon and 3:00 p.m., most especially on Gorham Street and Johnson Street.

Although the issued parade permit requires participants to stay on sidewalks and follow all traffic laws, a very large crowd is expected, and Madison Police will close State Street cross streets as necessary to divert traffic around the march if safety becomes an issue. The Capitol Square streets will also likely need to be closed to traffic due to the size of the crowd.
