QUESTION: Will any roads be closed?
ANSWER: The Arapaho Bridge will be closed from 11:30 am on July 3, through the fireworks show (approximately 10:00 pm).  Arapaho will re-open after the fireworks for egress.  Lindbergh Drive will be closed from approximately 9 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. The Addison Airport Toll Tunnel will be one way westbound from approximately 9:30 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. and the Town of Addison will pay the tunnel fee for cars during the closed period. Addison Circle Drive from Addison Road to Witt will also be closed from about 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 a.m. Please note: after fireworks, the Addison Police Department may choose to restrict turns and direct traffic in another direction depending upon traffic volume during the exit plan. It may be best to drive beyond Addison's borders for a mile or two and then travel in the direction you desire to go.

The Addison Police Department provides extra officers from surrounding communities to implement the post-event traffic plan, which is designed to move vehicles out of the viewing area in an orderly fashion.  Patrons viewing the show can expect delays of up to 1.5 hours.  Very few roads will be closed but some turns will be restricted in order to maximize the traffic flow.  Patrons are encouraged to proceed in the direction they are directed until they travel beyond Addison’s borders by a few miles and then they can turn in the direction they need to go.  Better yet, why not watch the free showing of our feathured Cinema in the Circle movie in Addison Circle Park and miss the traffic all together!
