If you normally drive to games at SJP you ought to be aware of the fact that Union Road is closed from the junction of the Old Tiverton Road and including the junction with Sylvan Avenue. This means that if you normally park in the Union Road/Culverland Road/ Springfield Road/ Victoria Street area for games there are only three exits, either through Prospect Park (which until quarter to eight is the diverted route for the B bus which then travels up/down Springfield Road), up or down Pennsylvania Road or across the University campus.
You'd do well not to ignore the 'Road Closed' signs or the 'Access only' signs as it is very difficult to turn as you approach the 150m of trenches that are slowly moving their way down Union Road, and there have already been some interesting attempts to manouvre out & back down the closed section.
This closure is scheduled for all next week (commencing 13th July) it will be open for the week of the 20th to allow the visitors to Graduation on the Campus to get to it, but then closed for another three weeks whilst they complete the work.
Not very fascinating, I know, but I would anticipate that with the extra traffic for some of these games there is the potential for real snarl up and some frayed tempers.
