OK drivers, get in formation: Md. authorities warn of extra traffic ahead of Beyoncé, Jay-Z shows

WASHINGTON — Powerhouse music couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z are bringing their sold-out stadium tour “On the Run” to FedEx Field this weekend. But if you’re heading to the stadium — or just driving through the area — it may be more like “Stuck in Traffic.”

The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration is warning drivers of potential delays Friday and Saturday as concertgoers make their way to FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. The shows start at 7:30 p.m. both days.

Maryland authorities said drivers should expect heavier than usual traffic on the Capital Beltway, Maryland 214 and Maryland 202.

The highway administration is planning to deploy additional patrols in the area to assist local police with traffic and any major nighttime roadwork will also be suspended both nights.

Parking lots at the stadium open at 3:30 p.m., and gates open at 5:30 p.m.

FedEx Field is reminding concertgoers that they can’t bring any bags larger than a clutch. See more information about attending the show on FedExField’s website.
