Hey there, Chattanooga folks! If you’ve been out and about or just catching up on local happenings, you might have heard about an exciting event coming to our beautiful city—IRONMAN Chattanooga 2024! This incredible triathlon brings athletes from all around the world to compete, and it’s sure to be an event filled with amazing energy and a sense of community.
However, with great events come some necessary changes. The City of Chattanooga wants to keep everyone informed about road closures and restrictions that will impact travel during the event. The road closures will take effect on Wednesday at 9 a.m. and will last until September 30th. So, if you have any plans in the area, you’ll want to take note.
Among the most significant changes is the restriction of tractor-trailer access on Riverfront Parkway between MLK and E Aquarium Way. This means that if you’re planning on driving a large truck in that area, you’ll need to find an alternate route to avoid potential hassles.
Now, let’s talk about what to expect on the big day—Sunday, September 29th. Several roads will be closed to ensure the athletes have a safe route to race on. Here’s a glance at some key closures:
These closures can cause some disruptions, but they are all part of making this event safe and enjoyable for everyone involved. Whether you’re cheering on a friend, a family member, or just soaking in the excitement of the day, a little planning can go a long way.
