PORTSMOUTH — Several roads will be temporarily closed Saturday, Oct. 3, for the Portsmouth High School Homecoming Parade.

The parade is scheduled to begin at about 12:30 p.m. at East Main Road and Patriots Drive and conclude by 1:15 p.m. at the high school football field.

The procession will travel south on East Main Road, west on Freeborn Street, north on Turnpike Avenue and onto Memorial Drive.

Police said East Main Road will be closed to southbound traffic at Patriots Drive shortly before the parade begins and to northbound traffic at Turnpike Avenue once the parade gets underway.

Turnpike Avenue will be closed between East Main Road and Memorial Drive, and Exit 1 from Route 24 south to Turnpike Avenue will also be closed during the parade.

Motorists are encouraged to use West Main Road to avoid delays.
