This weekend promises to be a traffic tangle for those not aware of two events taking place this weekend. Both Zilker Park’s ABC Kite Festival on Saturday and the Statesman Cap10K on Sunday will shut down multiple roads, and city officials are urging drivers to plan accordingly. On Saturday, the 97th annual ABC Kite Fest will close Barton Springs Road between MoPac and Azie Morton Road as well as parts of Stratford Drive, Nature Center Drive, Bee Caves Road and Rollingwood Drive, and all of Lou Neff Road. In addition, neighborhood “no parking” restrictions will be enforced. A map of the closures can be found here. On Sunday, the 48th annual Statesman Cap10K will close roads along its course between Congress Ave and MoPac, South of West 15th Street. Here’s the course.
