Full maps of all closures are available on NOLA Ready’s website.

Rideshare pickup spots 

Rideshare drivers are expected to be extremely busy, especially during Super Bowl weekend. The city has set up over a dozen designated rideshare pick up locations downtown, including one at Duncan Plaza and others a few blocks away from the Superdome.

A map is available online.

Parking information

Parking is sure to be a headache in the Central Business District during the week leading up to Feb. 9. Regular paid lots will be available, but pricey.

NOLA Ready is warning drivers to follow all posted signs or risk getting towed and ticketed. The agency says drivers are not allowed to park within 20 feet of a crosswalk, intersection or stop sign.
