Wouldn't I-65 from Chestnut to St. Catherine make sense, Michael? Or are you biking?

I was gonna suggest an alternate route going down Market almost to the stockyards, but although I can find a looong list of street closings, I can't find a stupid street closing MAP anywhere online, so I'm not clear on exactly how to finish the trip that way.

I imagine things'll be awfully congested at the west end of the parade route. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Hope things worked out for you, Michael! I think Marsha is on the right track - get around the back of the parade rather than the front of it. Maybe Market to Baxter, then out Baxter to Barrett and cut through Ellison to Germantown? Depends on where in Germantown you're going, of course.

No good. Barret's closed for float line-up. So's Lexington. :(

Really! Whoa! I guess he had to take 71 out to the Snyder, all the way around the Snyder to I-65 and then north to Warnock ...
