July 4th is going to be a very busy day for Chillicothe Police traffic control officers, with the two big events taking place in the downtown.
.
Police Chief Keith Washburn says along with the usual traffic changes and congestion from the fireworks, will see added the day-long Water Street Mid Ohio Jeepers event from noon to 11pm, which will block off Water Street to through traffic, accept at the intersection with Yoctangee Park..
.
Also, the chief says alcohol sold at the Water Street event- must stay on Water Street and can't be taken into the park or any other location. This is not considered a DORA event, which does allow alcohol to be taken to different locations in the downtown.

Maps and traffic direction will be available on our website later this week.
