Traffic Congestion Expected for Art of Oswego Sunday

From the Oswego Police Department:

The Village of Oswego Police Department is reminding the public to expect increased traffic congestion and delays in Oswego Sunday August 18, 2013 due to Art Fair activities.

Motorists should expect delays in particular while traveling on US Route 34 through the downtown area. Delays on Madison, Washington and Main Street in the Downtown Oswego area are expected. Main Street will be closed between Washington and Jefferson Streets. Jackson Street will be closed from Madison Street to Adams. Street closures will begin Sunday August 18th at 6a.m. and will continue until 6p.m.

Motorists may want to consider alternate routes around these areas if they are not coming in for the event. Visitors to the event are asked to utilize the public parking lot on Harrison Street or the areas south of Washington Street and east of Madison Street for additional parking.

Alternate traffic routes to be considered: Use Rt. 71 to travel west out of town instead of Rt. 34. Rt. 31 north to Rt. 30 to avoid downtown and Rt. 34 traffic. Wolf Road east out of town is recommended to avoid the area of Rt. 34 if traveling east of town.
