Austin to James Madison H.S.

[14tokihorn]

Just got tickets for Sat.-
Haven't been to Fair Park in >15 yrs.

I'm thinking of cutting over from 35E to 45. (I might just cut over at Waco to Corsicana - a no-brainer & a good road too).

How is 'Loop 12', E.bound from 35 to 45?

But memory is lost on just where to exit. Somewhere close to downtown I think 45 is all elevated, with no exits, Correct?

With map in hand, looks like getting to 175 is do-able, and take S. Lamar to MLK, maybe?
Somehow, IIRC, we'll need to get North of the Trinity, and then exit, right?

Please advise.

Thanks for the parking tip, SunBurntOrange ! I'll take it !

Take I20 to 175 and avoid all of the traffic.

What 3rd Gen said.

Take I20 to 175.
Exit 2nd Avenue.
Runs right to the back of the Fair.

Go to Google maps.

Not a fan of MLK -- I am a north side guy.

I can remember in the 1960's taking off from Waco to Corcisana and coming into Dallas through the Farmers' Market area. Traffice was so heavy that at one light we had time t pass the remainder of our large container of salty dogs to persons in other cars who were likewise waiting for the light to change.

Ah, the good ole days!!!!!

Thanks guys. Whether it's google or my paper map, neither easily show what the exits are down there close to the Trinity. (and I do not recall the layout, either).

I despise negotiating the Dallas highways.
