Road closures during festival
Some information from the city Parks and Rec department about road closures during ACL Fest:
ACL event street closures include:
• Barton Springs Road from Robert E. Lee Road to South MoPac Boulevard.
• Stratford Drive from Barton Springs to Nature Center Drive.
• West Fourth Street from Lavaca to Nueces streets.
• San Antonio Street from West Cesar Chavez Street to West Fifth Street.
• West Cesar Chavez Street from San Antonio to Sandra A. Muraida Way.
Event parking will not be available in Zilker Park or area neighborhoods. Beginning Friday, motorists should be aware of heavy pedestrian traffic in the area. All pedestrians entering the event will be routed in the closed lane of traffic on the south side to the ticketing area. Pedestrians will be split (those with visa bands and those without) near the park entrance.
Festival attendees will then either be routed to the event or to the ticketing area. Pedestrians entering the event from the MoPac Boulevard side will be routed down the hike-and-bike trail to the Robert E. Lee intersection to be directed to the event via the above route.
Park Police will be stationed at Robert E. Lee diverting traffic through the park road off Robert E. Lee. Cars will be sorted by resident and nonresident. The right lane will be designated for residents of Zilker and Barton Hills neighborhoods, who may use the right lane to access Robert E. Lee. Residents will be able to use Robert E. Lee to go east on Barton Springs Road during the festival weekend.
