Before the event, road closures will be implemented at the following intersections:

After the event, with the exception of the Mountain View Avenue/Deanery Road and Tom Redcam Drive/Arthur Wint Drive intersections, all other closures instituted before the event will be removed to allow for a smooth regress.

Arthur Wint Drive, between Roosevelt Avenue and Tom Redcam Drive, will be operated as a two-way to allow for the movement of shuttle buses to and from National Heroes Circle.

The northbound section of Mountain View Avenue, between Deanery Road and Arthur Wint Drive, will remain closed to the general motoring public in order to facilitate the movement of shuttle buses.

Roosevelt Avenue will be operated as a one-way from the National Stadium towards Stanton Terrace and Old Hope Road.

Motorists and pedestrians are being asked to obey all directions given by the police and other security personnel, who the police say will be deployed in adequate numbers to ensure the safety of all.
