These closures shall take effect starting Friday, September 3rd through Sunday, September 5th from 10pm-4am. These junctures shall be manned by police personnel to ensure that these closures are maintained. Residents, employees and hotel guests traveling via livery coach or taxi will be admitted. It is important that you be prepared to show proof of residency (driver’s license, hotel employment or travel itinerary).Taxis and livery services will be allowed into these affected areas with respect to not crossing Bourbon Street at above mentioned areas.
