ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Billy Joel is set to perform at Highmark Stadium this weekend, and the Erie County Sheriff's Office is reminding drivers about some traffic changes that will be in place.
Deputies say drivers should expect delays near the stadium from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Anyone who is not attending the concert, or for those planning on going to the Erie County Fair, are encouraged to avoid the area during this timeframe.
Starting at 3 p.m. Saturday, the section of Abbott Road in front of the stadium will be closed to both north and southbound traffic and will remain closed until after the concert.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Route 20A will not be closed to westbound traffic after the concert. Drivers should expect delays.
All stadium parking lots will be open. Lots two and three will both be accessible from Route 20A. The Sheriff's Office also notes that drivers are required to prepay for parking at ticketmaster.com.
