If you’re planning a trip to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden later this month, you’ll want to double-check how you’re getting there.
A temporary change is coming to one of the garden’s main access points, and it could impact traffic in the area.
The closure is tied to a special event, according to road signs, and city crews will also be managing nearby road access.
The change will last for two days. Here’s what to know.
🔥 In case you missed it…
When is the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s main entrance closing?
The garden’s main entrance on University Drive will be closed Tuesday, March 24 through Wednesday, March 25 due to a special event, according to a news release.
During those two days, guests won’t be able to enter through the University Drive gate. University Drive will be closed in both directions between Lancaster Avenue and Rosedale Street.
Hours of operation will not be affected. The garden will remain open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the last ticket sold at 5 p.m.
The “Butterflies in the Garden” interactive event will also continue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the last ticket sold at 4 p.m.
How do I get into the Fort Worth Botanic Garden during the closure?
All guests will need to enter and exit through the Trail Drive gate, which is accessible from Montgomery Street.
University Drive will be closed in both directions between Lancaster Avenue and Rosedale Street during the event, so drivers should expect delays and allow extra travel time.
The garden says directional signage will be placed along Trail Drive to help guide drivers. Electronic message boards will also be deployed by the City of Fort Worth to assist with traffic management in the area.
The temporary entrance change will not affect private rental events.
