Traffic Impacts:

Motorists should anticipate considerable delays on the following key roadways, which will be affected by the event:

  • Jamestown Road
  • Greensprings Road
  • Route 5 (John Tyler Highway)

These delays will be a direct result of event participants and related logistical operations. Drivers are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution, remain vigilant for increased pedestrian and cyclist traffic, and consider alternate routes to avoid congestion.

Tourist Impacts & Park Disruptions:

Tourists and local residents planning to utilize recreational areas should be aware of the following disruptions:

  • Jamestown Event Park: This park will be the central hub for the cycling, running, and swimming portions of the triathlons. Consequently, the following popular trails within the park will be heavily utilized and may experience restricted access or significant congestion between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.:
    • Greensprings Interpretive Trail
    • Powhatan Creek Trail
    • Virginia Capital Trail
  • Beachfront Parks and Trails: While these areas will remain open, visitors should prepare for exceptionally high levels of activity. The presence of swimmers, runners, and cyclists participating in the event will lead to heavy foot and water traffic, potentially affecting the usual leisurely experience.

These impacts are likely to affect travel times and recreational plans for both residents and visitors to the Williamsburg area on July 20th.
