Plan Ahead

Brickyard Weekend

16th St Bridge Closure

The 16th Street bridge over White River is closed. Guests should plan to utilize 10th Street, Michigan Street, New York Street or Washington Street bridges over White River and take White River Parkway north to 16th Street. Guests can also continue on 10th Street to Tibbs Avenue and turn North toward 16th Street. Gate 2 is credential-only both Saturday and Sunday, meaning all guests must have a pre-paid parking pass. Gate 2 is not accessible from the west, so guests should plan to arrive from the east and turn right into Tunnel 2.

Guests may also use the newly reopened 30th Street bridge and enter the facility from the north side of the racetrack through Gate 10. Free parking is available in the North 40 (Lot 7). Additionally, Turn 3 infield parking should be accessed through Gate 10. Gate 10 will allow both east and west bound traffic to turn into the gate.
