  • Northbound: Use Lafayette Avenue via Lyon Street and Leonard Street.
  • Southbound: Use Lafayette Avenue via Hasting Street (adjacent to I-196).
  • Eastbound: Use Leonard Street via Lafayette Avenue and Fuller Avenue.
  • Westbound: Use Leonard Street via Fuller Avenue and Lafayette Avenue.

Jams can be expected on Lafayette Street at Michigan Street during shift changes at the Spectrum Butterworth campus.
