Many are excited to see the death-defying attempt by Criss Angel to escape from the Spyglass Hotel before it is imploded tonight in Clearwater.  But while the event is sure to drawn lots of anticipation and awe, it will also mean heavy traffic and road closures in the region.  Here’s what you need to know to get around.

South Gulfview Boulevard will remain closed from just south of the Pier 60 parking lot to Fifth Street until 7 a.m. Thursday morning.  Coronado Drive with also be shut down to traffic between Devon Drive and Third Street from 7 p.m. Wednesday until 1 a.m. Thursday.  Finally, the area from the roundabout to Fifth Street will close from approximately 10:30 - 11:30 p.m. Wednesday for the implosion.

If you want to see Criss Angel’s escape, you can watch from the viewing areas north and south of the resort.  Traffic from the north should use Memorial Causeway to get there; traffic from the south should use the Bellair Beach Causeway and take Gulf Boulevard north to Clearwater Beach.

Good luck to Criss Angel… I am sure there will be alot of sweaty palms before it is all said and done!
