Monday’s Boston Marathon is expected to draw one of the largest crowds in race history, likely to fill unprepared car owners with anxiety. To avoid stress, here’s an overview of parking and street closure information you need to know for marathon events.

The City of Boston will close several streets near the Boston Common; east and west of Massachusetts Avenue; in the Brighton area leading into the marathon route; and in the Back Bay the day of the race, Monday, April 21.

? 5 AM Streets in the vicinity of the Boston Common will close
? 6 AM Boylston Street, Hereford Street to Arlington Street will close
? 8 AM All streets east of Massachusetts Avenue (as well as Massachusetts Turnpike Exit 22) will close
? 8 AM All streets west of Massachusetts Avenue in the Kenmore Square Audubon Circle area will close
? 8:30 AM All streets in the Brighton area leading into the route will close

“No Stopping” parking restrictions, in effect since April 8, won’t be lifted until after the marathon. Additional parking restrictions will be put in place throughout the Back Bay as early as 12:01 a.m. Saturday, April 19 and remain in effect through Marathon Monday.

Below, full lists of parking restrictions and street closures have been included (subject to change by the Boston Police Department).
