No vehicles will be allowed to go through the barricades for any reason once the roads close, and no cars will be allowed to park on these roads. There will be a No Parking ordinance in effect from 6am Monday morning, in addition to the 8-12:30 road closure. Please plan accordingly for errands, gatherings, and work.

The best way to maneuver around the town would be to use Park Ave (Route 33) to get to 9 or to Kozloski Rd for that side of town, and Robertsville Rd to Dutch Lane Rd to maneuver around the other side of town. Monument St out to Pond Road will also be available to leave town.
