The NYPD announced street closures surrounding Madison Square Garden to coincide with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s planned wedding Friday at the Midtown arena.
All of the street closures will kick in at 1 p.m. Friday.
W. 32nd and W. 33rd Sts. between Sixth and Seventh Aves. will be closed to vehicular traffic, while W. 31st St. will be closed between Sixth and Eighth Aves., according to police.
The west side of Seventh Ave. between W. 31st and W. 34th Sts. and W. 33rd St. between Seventh and Eighth Aves. will be closed to pedestrian traffic.
In addition, also starting at 1 p.m. Friday, some blocks will be subject to what an NYPD advisory described as “managed access,” including W. 31st, W. 32nd and W. 33rd Sts. between Sixth and Seventh Aves., and the east side of Eighth Ave. between W. 30th and W. 24th Sts.

The NYPD did not immediately respond to questions regarding managed access, including who would be allowed entry to those areas.
Meanwhile, no parking will be allowed on W. 33rd St. between Sixth and Seventh Aves. beginning at 11:15 p.m. on Thursday. Cars not moved before then will be towed.
Commuters looking to access Moynihan Train Hall and Penn Station are advised to use the entrances located on the west side of Eighth Ave. at W. 31st and W. 33rd Sts.
Fleets of forklifts were spotted busily unloading trucks filled with road cases on Wednesday as preparations for Swift and Kelce’s wedding appeared in full swing.
The couple donated $26 million to charities across the country — including New York City nonprofits including City Harvest and Food Bank NYC — ahead of their wedding.
The soon-to-be bride and groom reportedly required their 1,000-plus wedding guests to sign an NDA forbidding them from publicly sharing details of the event under “threat of public shaming … or being uninvited.”
