Where to avoid driving as the Tour of Utah bike race rolls into downtown Salt Lake City on Friday

The Tour of Utah race will zip through downtown Salt Lake City on Friday afternoon — a bash for bicyclists and spectators but a possible commuter headache for drivers on four wheels.

“Surely, there's going to be an impact on traffic,” said Salt Lake City police Det. Keith Horrocks.

The 6.8-mile route starts and ends at 215 N. Main. It then loops around the state Capitol, down City Creek Canyon, through the Avenues and along South Temple. Riders will make 10 loops.

Only Main Street between North Temple and 300 North will be closed entirely for most of the day.
