    Road closures, parking information announced for Celebrate East Lyme on Saturday

    East Lyme — Road closures and parking information have been announced for the 16th Annual Celebrate East Lyme this Saturday.

    Starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, there will be no on-street parking permitted on Main Street in Niantic, from Lake Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue, as preparations will be underway for the festivities.

    This same section of Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic at noon and will not reopen until 11:00 p.m., according to a town notice.

    The town notice says that available parking spots will fill up quickly, since this is a popular event, so residents should check with neighbors, friends and family members and consider carpooling.

    Public parking is available at the municipal parking lot on Hope Street, Town Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue, Cini Park on Main Street, McCook Park on Atlantic Avenue and Niantic Center School on West Main Street.

    Handicapped parking will be available on Methodist Street and the former gas station property at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue. Police will be checking for handicapped place cards.

    The notice also states that Hole in the Wall parking lot off of Main Street is not blocked off from the public, but if people do not remove their vehicle from the lot by noon, they will be stuck in the lot until after the fireworks.

    Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.
