A Fourth of July fireworks display at Snow King Mountain Resort lights up the sky above Jackson in 2020. The Snow King fireworks show and other July 4 events will see road closures and detours throughout the downtown area that could snarl vehicular traffic.
Town of Jackson officials are alerting people to be aware that several Fourth of July events in and around downtown Jackson may impact traffic, suggesting that for some, a bicycle or your own two feet might be the best way to get around.
Starting with the Lions Club’s 4th of July Breakfast adjacent to Town Square at 8 a.m. and the ensuing Chamber of Commerce parade, and ending with the July 4 fireworks display at the base of Snow King — and several events in between — traffic patterns will be disrupted and motorists should be prepared for detours and delays, according to a Town of Jackson press release.
Some of the changes will start on Sunday, in fact, as Deloney Avenue between Cache and Center streets on the north side of Town Square will close at 2 p.m. Sunday in preparation for the Lions Club breakfast.
Center Street and roads along the Fourth of July Parade route from the fairgrounds to Town Square will close Monday morning, with traffic redirected.
The stretch of South Cache Street between Simpson Avenue and the alley north of Kelly Avenue will be closed for the Monday evening Patriotic Pops Concert.
Following the 10 p.m. fireworks display at Snow King’s base, all exiting traffic will be diverted west on Snow King Avenue in a one-way pattern by Jackson police, according to the release.
“The Fourth of July is a great day to get your bike out, use a START Bike or ride the free START Town Shuttle. ... In many instances, bicycle and pedestrian traffic will be moving faster than vehicle traffic,” said Town of Jackson public information officer Carl Pelletier.
