The Suzhou Traffic Police Department says the intersections of Suzhou Avenue with Guanfeng Street and Yuelang Street, and Yuying Road with Xiandai Avenue and Huachi Street, will be closed to vehicles and passengers. Only those with staff cards or tickets will be admitted during the controlled period.

Traffic control will also be imposed on Linglong Street, Xiandai Avenue, You'an Street, Huachi Street, Wangdun Road and Xinghu Street if congestion occurs, the police said.

Spectators can park in designated areas near Suzhou Culture and Arts Center, Moon Bay, Yuanrong Times Square, the Ferris Wheel, Jiuguang Shopping Mall, and Shanglu Mansion.

Taxis will be available near the intersections of Suzhou Avenue and Guanfeng Street and the traffic office will monitor the real-time evacuation situation to ensure the spectators can evacuate smoothly.

Three shuttle bus lines will be available after the last Metro train has left. They will go from the Suzhou Culture and Arts Center to Suzhou Railway Station, Dushu Lake, and Nanmen Gate.
