Parts of seven downtown Toledo streets will be closed Sunday morning during the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event, and others will be closed briefly while racers pass.
Closing at 5:30 a.m. will be Huron, St. Clair, and Summit streets between Lafayette and Monroe streets; Superior Street between Lafayette and Washington streets; Washington and Monroe between Erie and Summit streets, and Perry Street between Gratiot and Depot streets.
Summit will reopen after the race ends, while the others are scheduled to reopen around noon.
The race will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Summit and Monroe and proceed north on Summit, west on Jackson Street, south on Huron, east on Lafayette, south on St. Clair, east on Newton Street, south on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, east on Central Union Plaza, north on Broadway, east on Williams Street, north on Ottawa Street, and west on Washington, with its end near Depot.
Temporary street closings around the race route, including Broadway north of Segur Avenue, are planned to start at 8 a.m. The closed streets will include the Anthony Wayne Bridge, which will reopen after the race concludes.
The walk will start after racers have cleared the Monroe-Summit area and will proceed north on Summit to Madison Avenue, east on Madison into Promenade Park, then west on Jefferson Avenue to Water Street, south on Water, east on Monroe, south on Owens Corning Parkway, and west on Washington to finish at Gratiot.
Motorists with other business in downtown Toledo should plan on using Erie or Michigan streets for primary north-south access and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridge to cross the Maumee River.
