Ball Outfitted With Light Bulbs For Drop On New Year's Eve
Close to a million people packed Times Square last year to usher in 2005.
The NYPD will be closing the streets in the area as they become full. Streets between Broadway and Seventh Avenue will be closed to cars beginning at 4 p.m., beginning with 43rd and 44th streets.
As the area becomes more congested, police will shut down 44th Street between Broadway and Seventh, and so on up to Central Park.
If you plan to walk to the festivities, police say you will only be able to enter Times Square at Sixth or Eighth avenues.
There will also be an area on the northwest corner of 43rd Street set aside for the disabled who want to view the ball drop.
