Road Closures, What's Open and Closed on the Fourth of July

Thursday is Independence Day, more commonly referred to as the Fourth of July. It is a state and federal holiday.

Beginning with the annual 4th of July Road Race, Concord Road will be closed between Morse Road and Plympton Road at the beginning of the two races, which start at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.  

The road will only be closed long enough to get the participants off of Concord Road onto the secondary streets. Expect delays in this area until the conclusion of the road races.

Union Avenue will be closing at 11:30 a.m.; only parade participants will be allowed to enter.

At 12:45pm Boston Post Rd (Rt 20), Old Sudbury Rd (Rt 27), Concord Rd from Rt 20 to Newbridge Rd will be closed as well as Hudson Rd from Peakham Rd to the Center of town.

Detours will be set up to try to minimize the inconvenience to the motoring public. These detours are lengthy so we ask your patience with the situation.
