Traffic Guide for University Catholic Center Event Date: February 17t h, 2019, 6 AM to 3 PM General Tips ● Assume you can’t cross the course: Crossing the marathon course with a vehicle is extremely difficult, and should be avoided. The Austin Police Department will only allow crossings at major intersections, and only when there are no runners present. ● Park strategically: If your trip starts or ends near a section of the course, sometimes the best option may be to park on the more accessible side of the course and walk. For example, if you live on southbound Chicon St., park on the northbound side of the street so that your vehicle is on the side of the street that is open to vehicle traffic. ● Use MoPac, Lamar Blvd., & I-35: These roads are unobstructed for northbound and southbound travel. ● Use Ben White Bvld. (Hwy 290) and FM 2222 (Koenig Ln.): These roads are unobstructed for eastbound and westbound travel. Also, 45th St. is open westbound between Red River & Guadalupe. ● Use Google Maps & Waze: On race day, real time traffic information can be found on sites and apps like Google Maps ( maps.google.com) and Waze (w aze.com ). The Austin Marathon street closures are submitted to these programs in advance, and they will display the closures and the associated traffic.
