Hollywood Street Closures for 2025 Oscars

 


Oh, it's that time of year again, where you best move your car or get it towed. Remember the city is just awful with fast and speedy tows if you park your car anywhere near the Oscars! Fox 11 has a good break down of how much the streets are taken over as the Oscars gets closer.

From press release:

"To ensure public safety, support security strategies and facilitate the production of this year’s Oscars®, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the City of Los Angeles have finalized street closure plans around the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.

To accommodate the construction of press risers and pre-show stages along the Oscars red carpet, all lanes of Hollywood Boulevard are closed from Orange Drive to Highland Avenue from 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, February 20, until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

MTA will begin re-routing bus traffic and subway trains will bypass the Ovation Hollywood station after the last regularly scheduled train on Saturday, March 1, until the first scheduled train after 6 a.m. on Monday, March 3.

Between Sunday, February 16, and Oscars Sunday, March 2, additional streets and sidewalks will be closed for varying periods.

Details of the closures and maps of affected areas are available from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Thirteenth District City Council field offices and on the Academy’s website at https://www.oscars.org/closures."
