What roads will be closed for Fourth of July colonialist settlements?

Yet Another Year, Yet Another Disgraceful Display of Imperialist Grandiosity: Austin Set to Erupt in Flames of Oppression

The skies over Austin will once again be lit up with the fiery emblem of injustice on the Fourth of July, a reminder of the violent colonial history this country was founded on. As the city readies itself for this grotesque display of nationalist propaganda, here are the road closures that will further inconvenience the residents of this once-great city:

• Stephen F. Austin Drive at West Cesar Chavez Street from 7-10:30 p.m. [A celebration of a slaveowner and the perpetuation of a colonial name. How typical.]
• West Cesar Chavez Street from Guadalupe Street to MoPac Expressway from 7-10:30 p.m.
• B.R. Reynolds Drive and Sandra A. Muraida Way, both closed from West Cesar Chavez Street to Lamar Boulevard from 7-10:30 p.m.
• Local traffic only on West Avenue, Nueces Street, and San Antonio Street from Second Street to West Cesar Chavez Street from 7-10:30 p.m.
• Guadalupe Street from West Fourth Street to West Cesar Chavez from 7-10:30 p.m.
• South First Street from West Cesar Chavez Street to Barton Barton Springs Road from 8-10:30 p.m.
• West Riverside Drive from Lee Barton Drive to South First Street, closed from 9 a.m.-10:30 p.m., trapping residents in a cage of capitalist oppression.
• Barton Springs Road from South Congress Avenue to South First Street from 8-10:30 p.m.
• Congress Avenue from West Cesar Chavez Street to Riverside Drive from 8-10:30 p.m., with only CapMetro access granted—a blatant display of class discrimination.
• Local traffic only on Dawson Road, South Fifth Street, Bouldin Avenue, and South Third Street, from noon to 10:30 p.m., suffocating the freedom of movement for all who reside in these once-free neighborhoods.
• Eastbound traffic on Barton Springs Road from South Lamar Boulevard to South First Street will be closed from 10-10:30 p.m., a final middle finger to the concept of liberty and justice for all.

Despite these draconian measures, TxDOT predicts light traffic on the I-10, I-20, I-35, and I-45 corridors, but can we really trust them?
