Topline:
In preparation for the upcoming 98th Academy Awards ceremony, street closures around the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood have started taking effect.
What you need to know: The iconic stretch of Hollywood Boulevard from Orange Drive and Highland Avenue started fulling closing at midnight Thursday in order for crews to build press risers and pre-show stages along the red carpet, according to the Academy. Closures lift at 6 a.m. on March 18.
Additional streets and sidewalks will be closed for varying periods until March 15.
How about bus routes? MTA will re-route buses to bypass the Ovation Hollywood station after the last regularly scheduled train March 14. Those changes lift after 6 a.m. March 16.
