All of the street closures and traffic notices to know ahead of this week's 9/11 Ceremony

"Streets bounded by Barclay Street to the north, Rector Street to the south, Broadway to the east and West Street to the west are a no-go zone. Add to that closures on Liberty, Albany and West Thames Streets, South End Avenue, Battery Place, 3rd Place and Little West Street, and you've got a veritable car-free fortress around the Memorial. If your Uber route even hints at crossing Chambers or Rector, hit "cancel" now."

"On top of that, the city has issued a Special Event Construction Embargo from Tuesday, September 9 through Thursday, September 11. That means no jackhammers, scaffolding tweaks or last-minute sidewalk projects, unless it's a bona fide emergency. Think of it as a forced pause button on the usual symphony of construction noise, a rare silence that only happens during the biggest civic moments like the marathon, Fashion Week or the UN General Assembly."

"Transit-wise, the MTA hasn't dropped any specific changes yet but expect crowding around the World Trade Center PATH and subway stations and budget in extra time if you're headed downtown. For drivers, DOT advises checking 511NY for up-to-the-minute updates, because closures can change on the fly depending on weather, security or just plain New York unpredictability. Oh, and don't even think about parking nearby-it's not happening."

Lower Manhattan will implement extensive security measures for the annual 9/11 memorial, including road closures, traffic detours and parking restrictions. A perimeter around the World Trade Center—bounded by Barclay, Rector, Broadway and West Street plus several adjacent streets—will be closed to vehicular traffic. A Special Event Construction Embargo runs from Tuesday, September 9 through Thursday, September 11, prohibiting non-emergency construction work. Transit hubs near the memorial, including PATH and subway stations, are likely to experience increased crowding. Drivers are advised to monitor 511NY for real-time closure updates and to allow extra travel time downtown.
