Weekend traffic: 38th and Chicago remains closed to allow mourners to gather at Floyd memorial

The intersection of E. 38th Street and S. Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis remains closed to allow mourners to continue to gather at the memorial for George Floyd, the black man who died while being restrained by white police officers on May 25.

The Pan African Rally for George Floyd will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at the intersection. Drivers should know that related memorial events may temporarily take over streets in other parts of the city and across the metro area.

Transit service is back and continues to operate on reduced schedules because of COVID-19 precautions. A number of Metro Transit routes operating in south Minneapolis are being detoured as the cleanup from last weekend's riots continues.
