The Capital Stage Race, a three-stage, two-day bike race held in the Olympia area, will close some Capitol Campus roads on Saturday, May 31.

The first stage of the race will close Deschutes Parkway — from near 5th Avenue to the Interstate 5 and State Route 101 interchange — to all vehicle traffic from about 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The second stage of the race, the Capital Criterium, will close all or portions of several west campus streets from about 2 to 9:30 p.m. including:

  • Capitol Way from Sid Snyder Avenue to Union Avenue
  • the north and south diagonals
  • the Winged Victory traffic circle
  • the north half of Cherry Lane
  • Water Street, from near the greenhouses to the General Administration Building
  • Union Avenue from Columbia Street to Capitol Way

The third stage of the race, which will be held on June 1, will not affect the campus.
