8 p.m. Friday marks the first downtown Montgomery closure, with Bainbridge Street shut between Washington Avenue and Monroe Street ahead of Saturday’s “All Roads Lead to the South” rally.
6 a.m. Saturday brings a wider traffic lockdown around the State Capitol, including parts of Monroe Street, Dexter Avenue, Decatur Street and South Hull Street.
2 p.m. Saturday adds another restriction, closing Dexter Avenue from the Capitol to the fountain circle as the rally unfolds.
WSFA said the schedule was updated to correct earlier timeline errors, clarifying that closures begin Friday night and continue into Saturday rather than starting Friday morning.
