St. Anthony's Triathlon will affect Sunday traffic

Details

26 Apr

The 36th annual St. Anthony’s Triathlon is this Sunday, April 28th and race officials want to remind residents that some streets will experience road closures and travel delays. The Olympic and Sprint distance races will follow the same routes as last year, and delays can be expected from approximately 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Most roads will be open, but traffic will be stopped at various times on several streets to accommodate the safety of both the athletes who will participate in the race and spectators who will watch from the sidelines. Local residents are encouraged to find alternate routes during race time.

Several sections of St. Petersburg roads and streets are expected to be closed:

• Brightwaters Boulevard which will be closed between Snell Isle Boulevard and the turnaround in the 1900 block of Brightwaters
• Bayshore Drive which will be closed between Seventh Avenue N and Fifth Avenue S
• North Shore Drive NE and Coffee Pot Blvd. which will be closed between Seventh and 22nd avenues N
• Fifth Avenue S (Dali Blvd) which will be closed from First to Fourth streets
• Pinellas Point Drive will be closed (drivers will be allowed to cross when safe to do so

Some roads that will be subject to intermittent closures and delays include:

• First Avenue S between 28th and First streets S
• Fourth Street S between 18th Avenue S and Pinellas Point Drive
• Portions of First, Third, Fourth and Sixth streets S between First Avenue S and Pinellas Point Drive
• Snell Isle Bridge will have limited vehicle traffic allowed.
