TARC to detour three routes for CycLOUvia – Sunday, Oct. 12

Sections of Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue closed to vehicular traffic

Three major TARC routes will be detoured from 1:30-6:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12 for CycLOUvia, a city-sponsored event that will close Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue from Douglass Loop to Broadway to vehicular traffic. During the event the streets will be turned into a park-like experience for biking, walking and skating.

Routes #17-Bardstown Road, #23-Broadway and #40-Taylorsville Road will bypass their normal routes on the sections of Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue that will be used for the event.

All detoured buses will travel Lexington Road, Barrett Avenue, Baxter Avenue, Winter Street, Eastern Parkway, Norris Place and Douglass Boulevard. Eastbound service will detour at Lexington Road and Barrett Avenue; westbound service on Bardstown Road will begin detouring at Douglass Boulevard.

Traffic will be allowed to cross Bardstown Road at Douglass Boulevard, Eastern Parkway and Grinstead Drive. Routes #19-Muhammad Ali; #25-Oak Street and #29-Eastern Parkway will stay on their regular routes.

Detoured trips will stop at all marked TARC bus stops. Temporary bus stop signs will be placed on Norris Place and Douglass Boulevard and behind the Mid City Mall on Baxter Avenue.

Routes are expected to return to normal at about 6:30 p.m. after barricades are removed to resume traffic flow.

During the event, Bardstown Road from Douglass Boulevard to Highland Avenue will be closed, and Baxter Avenue from Highland to Broadway and Lexington Road will also be closed. Baxter Avenue, from Grinstead Drive to Eastern Parkway will remain open to vehicular traffic, including TARC routes.
