For Immediate Release Contact: Rick Journey 205-254-2823 rick.journey@birminghamal.gov City of Birmingham Announces Secure Perimeters for World Games 2022 BIRMINGHAM, AL – The City of Birmingham has identified secure perimeters and road closures which will be implemented during The World Games 2022, which takes place July 7 – 17, 2022. The perimeters, coordinated in partnership with the World Games Birmingham Organizing Committee and federal law enforcement, will ensure the level of safety and security essential for a multi-day, multi-location international event. “Our commitment is to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brings people together for a fun, inspiring and safe event,” Mayor Randall L. Woodfin said. “The city has consulted federal, state and local partners as well as other high-level international events to ensure the best experience possible for our athletes, visitors, residents and businesses.” “This is a big moment for our city and it requires a great deal of teamwork and communication,” said Nick Sellers, CEO of the World Games 2022. “While there may be some inconveniences traveling into the safety perimeter around the BJCC/ Protective Stadium and downtown, our partners at Birmingham City Hall are in regular communication with every business inside this perimeter on plans to help accommodate them. And the comprehensive World Games Transportation plan will offer a new and more efficient system for everyone to safely get to the events and back to their vehicle without the parking hassle.” The World Games 2022 events will require a secure boundary and road closures at several venues. This perimeter, which will be set-up in late June and early July, will restrict non-official vehicular access to certain areas, including: • BJCC/Protective Stadium and downtown • Avondale Park • Bessie Estell Park • 1st Avenue South at Railroad Park • Legion Field/8th Avenue West These secure boundaries will be in place through July 17. Additional secure perimeters at Birmingham-Southern College, CrossPlex and sections of UAB will provide minimal disruptions to traffic and access. The City of Birmingham has begun notifying residents, businesses and organizations in each location to inform them of the plan and schedule. Individuals in these locations with questions can call 205.254.2702 or email bhamready@ birminghamal.gov. A representative will respond to each inquiry. In the coming weeks, more details will be provided about specific credentialing available allowing residents into secured areas by vehicle that will be closed to general traffic. Please note, pedestrians will be able to move freely through most areas of the secured perimeters. These restrictions primarily focus on vehicles.
A comprehensive World Games Transit Line and public parking locations will assist the public in quickly getting to venues
in secured perimeters. Additional information on the World Games Transit Line will be announced in the coming days.
The city is committed to addressing community needs and maintaining services while supporting this once-in-a-lifetime
international event in our community.
Downtown Road Closures and Secure Perimeter
The World Games 2022 events at BJCC, Protective Stadium, The World Games Plaza at Bham City Walk and nearby transit
line services will require a secure boundary to be established. This perimeter, which will be set-up in late June will restrict
non-official, non-credentialed vehicular access to certain areas through July 17, 2022.
