What’s the best route to get back to River Bend neighborhood off Brightside during football contraflow? Will they allow you to turn onto Brightside from River Rd. or Nicholson?

Honestly I would just walk. It’s a hike but it’s doable. I did that when I lived at Lake Bea Pre.

It's a bitch to get there after big football games. Just walk or hangout on campus after the game

Depends on where you park.

Some hop on bikes and ride the levy.

When I lived there, River road was the best option.

I just ride my bike on top of the levee to the vet school. Just go to the park in the back of the neighborhood and you will see the walking path that connects you to the levee. I lock my bike up in front of the LSU police station

When I lived in Riverbend I would drop my truck off on Friday evening in front of the stadium. Then get dropped off on game day so I had a ride back. Note that I tailgated after the game for hours so the ride home was 5 like minutes. It was superb!

I live in Riverbend and we ride our bikes. 20 minutes to our gate and 20 minutes home. Kids in the bike trailer. Never have to worry about contraflow.

Definitely take Nicholson to Brightside. Last season we did that after taking our time to get to the truck and traffic was bumper to bumper coming from river road to Nicholson. We came from Nicholson and we were the only car heading that way.
