PANAMA CITY— Several roads will be closed to the motoring public during the “Salute to Freedom” celebration Friday in downtown Panama City. Parking on the marina also will be limited.
No vehicular traffic will be allowed in the designated event area of the Panama City Marina. The boat ramp closed at midnight Thursday and will remain closed until 10 p.m. Friday.
Limited public parking will be allowed in the lot north of the Civic Center.
Beach Drive west of Harrison to Sixth Street will be closed and Beach Drive east of Harrison to Cherry Street will be closed to vehicular traffic at 6 p.m. Friday. They will be reopened after the fireworks, once it is deemed safe.
Motorists traveling east and west crossing Grace, Jenks and Harrison avenues should expect delays due to the heavy flow of traffic from those leaving the downtown area after the fireworks.
