Due to the Fishercats & Rock 101 Sky Show this Sunday, May 26th, the Bridge St Bridge will be closed from 8:30 AM to about 11:30 PM to allow for the set-up and display of the fireworks show.
Access to Commercial St will be limited to pedestrians only beginning at 8:00 PM in order to ensure the safety of the high number of pedestrians expected to be in the area.
West bound traffic on Granite St from Elm St will be closed at 9:00 PM to ease the flow out of the Mill Yard following the fireworks. Traffic will not be able to access the Mill Yard from the Amoskeag Rotary at 9:00 PM, also to ease the flow of traffic out of the Mill Yard following the fireworks.
If you are traveling through the area as the fireworks are going off, please pay strict attention to the roadway and do not stop on any roadway to observe the fireworks display. Stopping can cause traffic congestion issues and poses a serious safety risk if another motorist strikes your vehicle while you are stopped.
On Monday, May 27th, the City of Manchester will observe the Memorial Day Holiday with a Parade on Elm St. The parade will kick off at 2:00 PM and cause portions of Elm St in the area of Webster St to closed at 1:00 PM. All of Elm St from Clark St to Granite St will be closed at 1:55 PM to allow for the parade to travel down Elm St.

Have a great Holiday weekend and please drive safely.
