Austin to Sea World: Gridlock

[lachrimae]

Not sure if this should be here or the Lounge forum:

I'll be leaving Round Rock (just north of Austin on I-35) at 4pm today and, as you know, am trying to reach Sea World by 6:50 or so.

Considering the time of day, would you recommend that I come on down to 410 & circle around or should I get off on the outer loop (1604) and loop around to take Hwy 10 South to 410?

Any ideas would be great... I have the feeling that making it from N. Austin to Sea World in 2 1/2 hrs might be tough.

See you tonight,

Mark

take 1604 all the way around to 151. this is the main road to sea world. there should be some signs. i live on the other side town tho, so someone from that side of town might have a better way.

I would come over to 281 from Austin and come all the way to 1604 and around.
I would not try to leave Round Rock at 4pm.

Just came that way yesterday and its a nice drive.

The traffic in SA at that time wont be bad on 1604.
It will take about 18 minutes on 1604 once you get into town.

I totally agree with you Mike...down 281 to 1604 WEST.

[cpreefguy]

either way will get ya there ;)

agree, 281!!! 35 and 410 are nightmares.

I envy all of you that get to go, I will be working until midnight tonight, so I have to miss it. :( hope someone is taking a video camera so MAAST can sell DVD's of the event.
