The city of Santa Clarita and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Department have provided a list of street closures for Saturday, May 18, when the city will host the 2019 Amgen Tour of California cycle race’s final Stage Start.
The Women’s Race is scheduled to begin on Town Center Drive at the Westfield Valencia Town Center at 9:05 a.m., followed by the Men’s Race at 10:35 a.m.
The much-anticipated race will bring the world’s top cyclists to the city as they cycle their way east through Santa Clarita and eventually out to Pasadena for the finish line.
The race will also bring street closures to the area, and residents planning to travel on race day are advised to plan ahead by reviewing the closures.
An interactive street closure map is also available at SantaClaritaTourofCA.com.
Specific streets that intersect the race route will be closed prior to the cyclists’ arrival and will reopen after all race traffic is clear. Side-street traffic will be allowed to cross the intersections during the estimated time closures only when safe to do so.
The following streets will be temporarily closed:
* Northbound McBean Parkway from Valencia Boulevard to Copper Hill Drive (Estimated time of closure: 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.)
* Eastbound Copper Hill Drive from McBean Parkway to Seco Canyon Road (Estimated time of closure: 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.)
* Eastbound and Westbound Copper Hill Drive from Seco Canyon Road to David Way (Estimated time of closure: 8:30 a.m. to noon.)

The congestion here is already bad enough. Now the powers that be have to make themselves feel good by making it even worse. Gee, thanks.
