Kenosha, WI – Several roads in downtown Kenosha will be closed on Tuesday, August 20, starting at 9:00 AM due to the visit of Republican Vice-Presidential Nominee JD Vance. These closures will significantly impact traffic, particularly around the Kenosha County Courthouse. The closures are expected to last until 2:00 PM, and residents are advised to plan alternate routes for their morning commutes.
According to the Kenosha Police Department, Sheridan Road will be shut down from 52nd Street to 58th Street. Additionally, 56th Street and 57th Street from Sheridan Road to 11th Avenue will be closed. Hard and soft closures will affect vehicular traffic in the area, with some side streets available for limited access.
For those needing access to the courthouse during this period, entry will be available from 56th Street and 13th Avenue. The police suggest using 8th Avenue for north and south travel, while 14th Avenue could be a good alternative for avoiding Sheridan Road altogether.
