Memorial Day Parade, 2017 – Road closures
Likewise, please allow for traffic delays and/or stoppages during the period the parade is taking place. Traffic will be stopped on Main Street from the intersection with Monkton Road from about 10:50 am to the time the final parade unit enters South Maple Street, which is usually around 1:00 p.m. Likewise, traffic will not be able to enter Monkton Road from US Route 7 from 10:50 am to the time the final parade unit enters Main Street. Side roads along the parade route will be closed while the parade is in process, to include School Street, South Maple Street, Green Street and New Haven Road. Please allow enough time for these delays or take an alternate route around Vergennes to reach your destination.
I also ask you to please drive slowly and safely as there will be a large number of people, especially little ones, watching the parade and walking to and from the parade.
I hope you enjoy the parade and I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day! God Bless you and please be safe.
Chief Merkel
