Significant traffic delays are expected on Cullen Boulevard, Elgin Street, Scott Street and Texas Spur 5.

The traffic alert said that the UH community should expect delays throughout Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Parking lots 16B and 18A will be near capacity and Cullen between Holman Street and Elgin Street will have a heavy amount of vehicles and pedestrians.

Students and those visiting the campus way wish to adjust their travel times to compensate for potential delays and consider alternative parking areas. The use of the parking lots on Wheeler Street and Calhoun Road may minimize delays.
