A. After the period of totality, this area will be in a period of partial eclipse, similar to that leading up to totality. Though people will arrive for the Solar Eclipse over the course of the weekend before, it is expected that most visitors will want to head home immediately after the event is over on Monday afternoon. Based on past solar eclipse events, you can expect snarled traffic immediately after the eclipse is over as tens of thousands of spectators all attempt to leave central and southern Indiana at the same time. We highly recommend staying an extra night, if you can, or at least delaying your departure from the area to allow for some of the traffic to dissipate. Make a plan to enjoy dinner at a local eatery before heading home, or visit an area park or attraction before hitting the road.
