The police are advising the public that traffic changes will be in effect to facilitate the 2025 Independence Day Grand Gala celebrations at the National Stadium and National Arena tomorrow.
At midday, Arthur Wint Drive will become a one-way. The Police say traffic will flow easterly towards the Stadium. Persons attending the event from this direction will turn left onto Roosevelt Avenue, right onto Stanton Terrace, then onto Mountain View Avenue, right onto Arthur Wint Drive and into the car park.
Vehicles travelling along Arthur Wint Drive towards Mountain View Avenue will turn left at Roosevelt Avenue, then right at Stanton Terrace.
Residents travelling easterly along Arthur Wint Drive going to the Lofts Apartments will use the slip road at the ticket office.
Residents travelling from Mountain View Avenue to the Lofts Apartments will be allowed to proceed. Residents from Stadium Gardens will be able to leave and enter the community by using Arthur Wint Drive as a one way (easterly only).
The traffic changes will remain in effect for the duration of the event. Meanwhile, Jamaicans are being urged not to take personal drones or vuvuzela horns to the Jamaica 63 Independence Grand Gala, set for the National Stadium in Kingston tomorrow.
The appeal came from Culture Minister Olivia Grange, who added that drones are also being strongly discouraged, as they can cause interference with the planned drone show for the event.
The gates of the National Stadium will open to the public at 3:00 p.m. with the Grand Gala set to begin at 6:00 p.m.
