Beware of BOTG street closures
Tuesday, July 27, 2021 by Tai Moses
Blues on the Green is lots of fun for everyone except the folks who get stuck in its murderous traffic. The annual free summer musical festival is returning to Zilker Park in person this week and again in two weeks. The Transportation Department is alerting motorists to the fact that “Multiple streets on and around Barton Springs Road will be closed for Blues on the Green on Tuesday, July 27, and Wednesday, July 28. If you’re in the area, detour to Cesar Chavez or Fifth Street.” Find more information on street closures and alternative routes here and a handy parking map here. Want a better idea? Leave the car at home and take public transportation.
