Race Day Directions

Hi.

I will be coming from the North (I-69) on race day. I plan on leaving about 5:30 am. I ususally go I-69 to Fall Creek to 16th Street to Parking Lot 2. Is this the best route or does anyone have a better way?

SO looking forward to Indy this year!!

Yes, that%26#39;s the best route!

Well, unless you%26#39;re comfortable taking side streets off 16th street to get around the traffic, and then try to skirt one of the barriers to get onto 10th street as near to Tibbs Rd. as you can - 10th Street will take you to lots south of the track directly south of the track, about a 20 minute walk from the south entrance. Quick in, even quicker out.

But you have to be kind of a con man to get around the often times guarded traffic barricades on 10th St. - 10th is a bus/escorted VIP route (or at least WAS for 25 years - haven%26#39;t been to the race in the last 2 years, they could have changed their traffic routing).

It has worked for us every time, and has made getting to and from the race a breeze.

Maybe IndyOB or someone else will know whether or not 10th St. is still protected as a bus/escorted VIP route (once you%26#39;re on it, no one hassles you).

I just heard on the local news that 10th street is under major construction, but I%26#39;m sorry to say I don%26#39;t have any details beyond that. Maybe someone else from the west side knows more.

Hmmm. Wonder what the bus/VIP route will be now?

The 10th street exits off of I465 on the westside are a mess. 1oth from downtown to the track are ok. As far as bus service I don%26#39;t think anyone knows yet. IndyGo (the local bus service) has been told by the Feds that they cannot be used for shuttle service. Indianapolis is working with private carriers to pick up the slack.
