What to Expect Today – Sunday, February 22, 2026, in Austin

Today is the Austin Marathon, which means significant road closures are in effect throughout the morning across downtown, South Congress, and the UT area. Most major routes like Cesar Chavez St and Congress Ave will begin reopening after 10 AM, but expect residual delays through the early afternoon. On the plus side, street parking at meters is free all day Sunday throughout most of downtown Austin—just be sure to avoid the 6th Street district between Red River and Brazos, where towing is strictly enforced.
