The One City Marathon is expected to bring hundreds of runners, spectators and guests to downtown Newport News on Saturday, March 5, and Sunday, March 6. As a result, employees working over the weekend can expect traffic delays and congestion around the shipyard due to street and road closures that intersect with the race route. Cars and pedestrians will be able to cross the race route only when race officials or law enforcement personnel signal that the path is clear of runners and is safe.

Road Closures
Streets and roads around the shipyard that will be closed over the weekend include:

• 25th Street from Washington Ave. to West Ave. from 8 a.m. Saturday to 8 p.m. Sunday.
• 42nd Street from Huntington Ave. to Washington Ave., 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
• Washington Ave. from 42nd to 25th streets, from 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

 

Parking Restrictions
Parking will be restricted along portions of Huntington and Washington avenues as well as numbered streets in that area from as early as Friday to Sunday afternoon. Those areas include:

• Huntington Ave. from 57th to 42nd streets from 6 p.m. Saturday to 3 p.m. Sunday.
• Washington Ave. from 44th to 25th streets from 6 p.m. Saturday to 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
• 42nd Street from Huntington Ave. to Washington Ave. from 6 p.m. Saturday to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Additionally, many of NNS’ parking facilities downtown, particularly in the area of buildings 902 and 903, will be used for the race. Please look carefully for “No Parking” signs.
