In an earlier announcement, city officials said street closures would most heavily affect the downtown and Uptown areas, with a security perimeter set up around the World Games Plaza that will include Protective Stadium, the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, Boutwell Auditorium and the new City Walk under the Interstate 20/59 overpass bridge through downtown.
The perimeter will block non-official vehicular traffic, but pedestrians will be free to walk in the zone.
The games will run from July 7-17 and will bring 3,600 to participate in events at 24 venues in Birmingham and Pelham. Fifteen different local law enforcement agencies, including 91 state troopers, will assist with the events.
