List of road closures, TARC info for Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Bourbon & Beyond starts this Thursday, and Louder than Life follows next week, bringing hundreds of thousands of people to Louisville to see some major headliners.

The four-day Bourbon & Beyond music festival runs from Sept. 14-17 at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center. Louder than Life happens the following week, from Sept. 21-24. That means several road closures will be in place.

TARC and PARC are teaming up to let concert-goers take the bus and avoid the traffic headaches. People attending either festival can park at the PARC garage at 115 W. Jefferson St. in downtown Louisville for $12. That price includes the cost of a TARC ride to and from the festival.

Participants will receive a special ticket good for the roundtrip ride.

From the PARC garage, concert-goers can board either the #28 Preston Highway at Jefferson and 2nd Street or the #2 Second Street and 1st Street between Jefferson and Liberty streets. Buses will come approximately every 15 minutes throughout the course of the day.

On the festival end, patrons can get off the #28 Preston Highway at the intersection of Preston Highway and Hart Avenue and use the Gate 6 entrance. They can take the #2 to the intersection of Phillips Lane and Freedom Way, right next to the main entrance to the festival grounds.

The ride will take approximately 25-30 minutes each way. After the concert, buses will run until at least midnight, with both buses picking up at the same drop off points from earlier in the day.

Some roads are already closed, and more closures are on the way:
