Red Bull Race will close some Providence streets

Speed is just one factor in a race where judges will also look for creativity and showmanship.

See what the drivers get away with at the Red Bull Soapbox Race when they bring their homemade vehicles to College Hill in Providence tomorrow. The gates open at 11 a.m. and the first race begins at 1 p.m.

Safety, too, is on the agenda. Expect street closures to delay travel across the East Side, but ensure the soap box cars don't have to compete with traffic.

Prospect Street between Meeting and Angel Streets will be closed to traffic by 10 a.m. today and preparation begins in earnest tonight at 6 p.m. when a good chunk of the East Side will be closed to traffic.
