DC United, Inter Miami Soccer Game in Baltimore Prompts Traffic, Parking Restrictions
Baltimore deploys extensive road closures and parking rules with transit supplements to manage large crowds for the first MLS game featuring Lionel Messi, officials said.
The Baltimore City Department of Transportation announced road closures and traffic changes starting around 11:30 a.m. Saturday for the D.C. United vs Inter Miami CF match at M&T Bank Stadium, including northbound Russell Street closure between West and Hamburg Streets.
City officials said high downtown traffic was expected on Saturday due to the first MLS match with Lionel Messi, prompting measures at M&T Bank Stadium.
Beginning at 1:30 p.m., MTA will supplement Light Rail with Express Shuttle Buses from Glen Burnie/Cromwell and Timonium Fairgrounds to Camden Station, and riders can use various transit options and fare payment methods.
BCDOT warned that posted parking restrictions and residential permit regulations would be strictly enforced, Transportation Enforcement Officers would assist traffic, and a pedestrian walkway and one-way Warner Street pattern would streamline access on Saturday.
At the start of the second half, closures were reinstated with special egress on Warner Street, Alluvion Street, Worcester Street, Bayard Street, and restrictions on Hamburg Street and Hanover Street; Hamburg Street Bridge and Ostend Street Bridge closed earlier for ingress.
