Motorists in downtown Indianapolis said they’re
having difficulty navigating through the city with all of the street
closures and road blocks as officials prepare for the Super Bowl.
Road restrictions began on Thursday and crews worked to close more streets that intersect Meridian and Georgia streets on Saturday, which confused drivers and caused minor traffic jams.
"People are trying to get around. Traffic is backed up in a lot of the places you wouldn't expect it to be,” driver Matt Traub said.The Super Bowl Host Committee launched its Know Before You Go plan in December in hopes that drivers will check street closures and restrictions before getting into their cars, RTV6's Chance Walser reported.Some drivers who accessed the website before driving downtown said they didn’t have much success."I got on the website and to tell you the truth, it was really confusing. There were lots of maps with lots of different colors changing different days,” driver William Bogard said.Committee member Mel Raines said Saturday was only the beginning of more road closures to come."Our next big restriction is on Sunday. South Street is going to close between Missouri Street and Capitol Avenue,” Raines said.Officials said the closures are making a way for the construction of temporary rigging that will be used to hold up zip lines and concert stages in the Super Bowl village along Georgia Street.
