Eras Tour rideshare and pickup locations, downtown Indianapolis road closures
There will be a slew of road closures to manage traffic around Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend, so if you’re trying to get in or out of downtown, take heed. Many surface streets and some interstate exits will be closed, mostly after 11 p.m.
A standalone rideshare pickup zone on South Street between Missouri and West streets will operate from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday through Sunday.
Only Uber, Lyft and other rideshare drivers will be given access to this area. Rideshare drivers will have to drive down South West Street to pick up riders and then can either continue south, going under I-70, or travel westbound on Kentucky Avenue to get out of the zone.
