Lamar and Enfield are currently under Extensive Construction!

Map and Directions have been updated to avoid worst areas!

Plus...

There are Three 5k "runs" Taking Place
in Austin on Saturday and Sunday Mornings
These May impact travel between studios depending on the time of day.


Saturday

The "Chuy's" 5k run that starts at 8am and may last until 11am that uses Exposition Blvd which is within a block of Marian Haigh's studio and is the run most likely to cause a tour slowdown.

To avoid Exposition, take Forest Trail or Elton off of Enfield to reach Bridal Trail.

When you leave Marian's, if you are headed WEST before 11am on Saturday morning (only) return EAST on Bridal Path to Loop 1 South and take RM 2244 (Bee Caves Rd) west rather than attempting to take Exposition and Lake Austin to Red Bud Trail.
 

The "WalkAmerica" 5k starts at 10:30 am at Auditiorium Shores and goes through the downtown area.  This will not be a factor if you use the route on the map, but may be if you elect to transit the downtown area between 10:30 and 1:30 on Saturday.

Sunday

The "Daisy" 5k run takes place between East 5th Street and Festival Beach on Waller and Comal (which both cross Ceasar Chavez).  The runs starts at 8am and may last until 10am.

This could cause some delays WEST of Ryan McKerley's studio, but should not cause a problem on the tour route posted on the map.  It may, however, also cause additional congestion at the Ceasar Chavez exit off of I-35 and on 2nd Street during the run until 10 am.
