HAMILTON TRAFFIC/PARKING ADVISORY

Apr. 6, 2023

Richmond, VA – Residents and patrons should expect heavy traffic and limited parking conditions on all routes to and near Altria Theater during the two-week engagement of HAMILTON, which runs Tuesday, April 11 – Sunday, 23, 2023 with 16 performances.

 

Patrons attending HAMILTON are encouraged to use ride share services such as Uber, Lyft, or taxi services, and are encouraged to arrive at the theater 45 minutes – 1 hour prior to showtime to allow for such conditions.

 

Patrons looking to park in the area should arrive early and locate street parking or plan to utilize one of two VCU managed parking deck facilities available, the VCU West Main Street parking deck or the VCU West Cary Street parking deck. The VCU West Main Street deck is located across the street from Altria Theater. The VCU West Cary Street deck is within a 10-minute walk. Please note, the fee to park in either of the decks is $10.00 per car, and both decks are CASHLESS. Capacity is limited, and space fills quickly. More information on parking and directions can be found here.

 

As the VCU West Main Street Deck hits capacity, all cars will be routed to the VCU West Cary Street Deck by parking attendants. Signage will also be utilized to assist in directing traffic. Again, patrons are urged to utilize ride share services to avoid parking in the area entirely.
