Fans leaving IMS following all races during the Red Bull Indianapolis GP weekend should be aware that whatever direction they are sent, they will never be more than 1 to 4 miles away from a main Interstate artery. Officers will direct traffic in the quickest, most efficient way and may suddenly change routes due to traffic congestion.
In an effort to increase the safety and security of race patrons, Georgetown Road will be closed between 16th Street on the south and 25th Street on the north prior to the beginning of the Red Bull Indianapolis GP at 2 p.m. After Georgetown Road is closed, no vehicular traffic, including placarded traffic, will be allowed to access the roadway.
Those race patrons with placards who are accustomed to entering Gate 7 will have to enter through Gate 2 (W. 16th Street) or Gate 10 (30th Street). Local residents who reside on this stretch of Georgetown Road are encouraged to make provisions for this temporary traffic restriction as vehicles will not be permitted to access Georgetown Road from McCray Street, 24th Street, and all other access points in this area.
