All lanes of a portion of South Main Street near Michigan Stadium will be closed during President Barack Obama’s visit to Ann Arbor next week.

The Ann Arbor City Council voted Monday night to close Main Street between Pauline and Stadium boulevards from midnight Friday, April 30 to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 1.

The measure is in preparation for Obama’s commencement speech at the University of MichiganÂ that Saturday.

The city said U-M also will be testing field lights and loud speakers at Elbel Field as early as 4 a.m. May 1 in preparation of graduation.
