Due to the anticipated poor weather conditions that are in the forecast for July 3rd the City of Manchester is postponing the 2014 Independence Day Celebration from July 3rd to July 5th.
The Bridge St Bridge will be closed on July 5th from 8:00 AM to midnight due to the holiday fireworks display. The Amoskeag Bridge, the Granite St Bridge, and the Queen City Bridge are all viable options for travel east/west across the Merrimack River although the Granite St Bridge will have a noticeable increase of traffic due to this event and should probably be avoided as well.
Commercial St will be limited to pedestrian traffic only from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM on July 5th due to the high volume of pedestrians expected in the area and the limited amount of parking spots available in the mill yard.
