Downtown workers and Titans fans are urged to begin devising their travel and parking game plans for Thursday afternoon and evening given the sold-out 7 p.m. Titans-Green Bay Packers game at LP Field.
By 4:30 p.m., the Woodland Street Bridge will close to regular traffic and be available only to pedestrians and shuttle buses. Downtown workers and other motorists making the commute home Thursday will get to their destinations quicker by avoiding the congestion around LP Field.
Fans traveling downtown for the game and who normally park in state employee lots on game days will not have access to those lots Thursday evening until 5 p.m. at the earliest, when they are vacated by state workers.
Fans parking north of Broadway, and those who use state parking lots, can safely walk across the Woodland Street Bridge from downtown to LP Field.
For fans parking along and south of Broadway, the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge will provide safe, enjoyable, and easy access to the stadium.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge (Gateway Bridge), which connects East Nashville to 4th Avenue North, will be open to eastbound and westbound traffic until moments before the conclusion of each game this season. However, there will be no access to the LP Field campus to eastbound traffic coming across the bridge from the downtown area in the two-hour period before each game (eastbound vehicles coming across the bridge will not be allowed to turn left onto the LP Field campus).
At the conclusion of each game this year, all lanes of the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge will be open to westbound traffic only, which should more quickly disperse congestion around LP Field.
Gates to LP Field will open at 5 p.m. Thursday. Stadium parking lots will open at 3 p.m. to Titans fans with parking passes. Football fans are reminded that only persons with parking passes will be allowed to park on the stadium campus. Fans without parking passes who drive to the LP Field campus will be turned away. Those fans are urged to save time and find parking in the downtown area and walk to LP Field or ride an MTA shuttle bus. Game transportation is also available from a Music City Star train.
After the game, football fans are asked to be patient as police officers work to direct traffic away from LP Field as quickly and efficiently as possible.
