The Department of Transportation recommends the use of alternate forms of travel such as Mass Transit, Metro Subway, Light Rail or carpool.

The following traffic modifications will be in effect on Friday, July 24, 2009 due to construction on Lombard Street and Race Street:

· Westbound traffic heading to the game should use Central Avenue to Orleans Street to Franklin Street to Green Street.

Motorists should expect delays and pay close attention to all parking restrictions and new traffic patterns in the vicinity. Special Traffic Enforcement Officers(STEOs) and Variable Message Signs (VMS) will be deployed at strategic locations to direct motorists through the new traffic patterns and to the alternate routes.

Motorists should be aware that special parking restrictions will be in effect in the vicinity of the stadium. Parking Control Agents will aggressively enforce all posted parking restrictions and vehicles parked in violation will be ticketed and towed. The Fallsway Impound Lot will remain open for two hours after the game. In addition, Special Traffic Enforcement Officers will assist Baltimore City Police with the movement of traffic in the downtown area.

“Keeping Baltimore moving safely now and in the future”.
