George Bush Dr. - Both Sides
Public is allowed to stand on both sides of George Bush Drive from Texas Avenue to Penberthy Blvd. Texas A&M University officials have announced that the funeral motorcade for former First Lady Barbara Bush on Saturday, April 21, will enter College Station from northbound Highway 6 and proceed north on to Texas Avenue. It is anticipated that citizens wishing to pay tribute to Mrs. Bush will be along the route as well, and these factors have the potential to impact travel in and around the motorcade route before the motorcade proceeds through College Station. If citizens are interested in parking in parking lots and standing on sidewalks as the motorcade proceeds along the route, it is requested that they be in place by 2 p.m. The George Bush Library complex will not be open to the public. All major intersections along the route will be closed as the motorcade proceeds through College Station. The intersections that will be closed will begin at Highway 6 at Rock Prairie Road to Texas Avenue at George Bush Drive. Once the motorcade begins traveling on George Bush Drive, all major intersections will be blocked until the motorcade reaches Barbara Bush Drive. Highway 6 Southbound at the Rock Prairie Road exit and split will be shut down as well. After the motorcade proceeds through College Station, the route will re-open for normal traffic. Parts of the roadway could be affected for up to two hours.
