Next week, the city of Santa Clarita will host part of the Amgen Tour of California, with several road closures expected to impact areas of the city throughout the day on Wednesday as bikers race to the finish line.

Riders will enter Santa Clarita for stage four of the men’s race on May 17 via eastbound Highway 126. Riders will then travel the south lanes of the Old Road to Magic Mountain Parkway where they will enter the City of Santa Clarita proper using the eastbound lanes of Magic Mountain Parkway.

The race will finish on eastbound Magic Mountain Parkway between Auto Center Drive and Citrus alongside the Westfield Valencia Town Center.

The following are approximate times for road closures on Wednesday, May 17:

• 5 a.m. closure of eastbound Magic Mountain Parkway between Auto Center Drive and Citrus Street
• 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. closure of westbound Magic Mountain Parkway between Auto Center Drive and Citrus Street
• 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. rolling closure of southbound Old Road from 126 to Magic Mountain Parkway and Magic Mountain Parkway to Citrus Street. The rolling closure can vary from 15 to 30 minutes. Roadway closed just ahead of cyclists and reopens immediately once cyclists and support vehicles pass.

Businesses on Tourney Road should use Valencia Blvd. between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Community members are advised to plan ahead and avoid the areas of the Old Road and Magic Mountain Parkway between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to avoid being impacted by the race. Riders are expected to cross the finish line around 3:45 p.m., although the actual timing of the finish may vary.
