Brace for Heavy Traffic, Delays in Downtown Cleveland on Wednesday and Thursday

Indians, Browns and McCartney plus some road construction will test driver patience on Wednesday and Thursday.

On Wednesday, Paul McCartney has a sold-out show at Quicken Loans Arena for his "One on One" tour. The show begins at 8 p.m. Forty minutes before the Paul McCartney show begins, the first pitch for the Cleveland Indians vs. Chicago White Sox is thrown. The Tribe beat the Sox Tuesday night and now have a six-game lead in the AL Central Division so a large crowd can be expected.

On Thursday night, it's a repeat with McCartney performing his second Cleveland show at the Q at 8 p.m. and the Indians playing the White Sox (hopefully for a sweep) at 7:10 p.m. PLUS, adding to Thursday's events is the Cleveland Browns vs. Atlanta Falcons preseason matchup at First Energy Stadium.

If possible, consider taking RTA downtown also, be aware of the fare increase, an all-day pass now costs $5.50.
