Large portions of University Avenue will be closed today for Gator Gallop and the Homecoming parade.
University Avenue will be shut down from East Third Street to West 22nd Street, according to the Gainesville Police Department.
In addition, Main Street will be blocked off between North Second Avenue and South Fourth Avenue.
Thirteenth Street will also be closed between Northwest Third Avenue and Southwest Fourth Avenue.
The roads will close around 11 a.m., but the time will vary for each one, wrote Sarah Wilson, a GPD special events coordinator, in an e-mail. Gallop is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m., and the parade is set to start at noon.
The closures are the same ones typically used for the Homecoming parade but are still subject to minor changes, Wilson said.
Road closures for Gator Growl have yet to be determined, but Northwest 16th Avenue will be closed near University Avenue afterward for Later Growl at Baptist College Ministries, according to Wilson's e-mail.
