Road Closures for Firefighter Jones’ Memorial Procession

As our community comes together today to honor Firefighter Jones, residents should anticipate road closures and traffic delays along the memorial procession route.

The procession will take place following the 10 a.m. funeral Mass at St Patrick’s Church on Valley View Road. Road closures will primarily impact Broadway and Pierce Street between North Avenue and South 4th Street. Traffic congestion is also expected near St. Patrick Catholic Church along College Road, Valley View Drive, and McPherson Avenue.

Roads are expected to reopen by approximately 1 p.m., although timing may vary.

We appreciate the community's patience and understanding as we honor Firefighter Jones and support his family, friends, and fellow firefighters.

Orange: Vehicle Procession (roads not closed)
