The Richmond Police
Department asks everyone to be aware of the upcoming USA Cycling Collegiate
Road National Championships that start Friday, May 2, and will greatly affect
travel in the city, especially downtown, throughout the weekend.
The bike races are a
test event for the region’s hosting of the 2015 UCI Road World Championships,
and will draw more than 400 cyclists to the city.
Citizens are asked to
avoid the areas of the race if possible and to plan ahead with alternate routes
and extra time to get to where they need to go. The races will take place in
and around the downtown area starting Friday, May 2, and going through Sunday,
May 4.
Officers will be in
many locations to assist with traffic flow and to keep bikers and spectators
safe.
There will be two
races on Friday--the Team and
Individual Time Trial; two races on Saturday—the
Criterium--Collegiate & ProAm; and a Road Race on Sunday.
Multiple maps of the
races and affected areas are currently being posted to the city website and the
Richmond Police Department Facebook page.
Street closures will
begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 1,
around East Broad Street in the area of 5th Street, specifically the
