We strongly advise that you take the following steps to help minimise the impact of these significant road closures: 

• Avoid non-essential travel where possible - Leave your car at home and DON’T DRIVE in areas along or surrounding the course. Significant delays are expected with major detours in place.

• Plan your trip – be aware of road closure times & locations, and if you must drive on event day plan your route in advance and allow for extra trave time.

  • For those needing to drive, the Cross City Tunnel will be free from 5am to 4.30pm only on event day, Sunday 31 August.

• Use public transport –trains and metro services will continue to run to and from the city, with additional early morning services. Keep in mind that due to road closures buses and light rail services will be affected, so plan your trip ahead of time.

• Taxi/rideshare drop off locations

 

Resident Parking / Special Event Clearways

• Check signage – If you need to access your vehicle during the event, park in a legal space outside of the closure footprint. Special event clearway parking restrictions are strict no parking zones and will be in effect across the course, avoid being towed and move your vehicle on Saturday night as many clearways come into effect midnight leading into Sunday. Some clearways will also be in effect the day before on Saturday.

• The event will reimburse displaced parking if conditions of the parking reimbursement form are met.

  • Some suggested alternative parking options are available here.
