Check the route before an errand
Gretna-area readers heading to Danville on Saturday, September 12, should plan around the Three Sisters Marathon. The city’s traffic notice lists closures and modified routes between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.; roads will reopen behind the last runner.
The affected route includes Main Street, West Main Street, Woodland Drive, Surry Lane and eastbound Memorial Drive. Central Boulevard is to remain open, but its exits toward Main and West Main streets and eastbound Memorial Drive will close.
Do not rely on the usual turn
Check the full closure map before leaving for the day, and keep a copy accessible to passengers who can help with directions. Follow signs and officer instructions at the scene.
A street that remains open may still be difficult to reach from your usual approach.
If you have an appointment, delivery or work shift near the route, check your destination’s access instructions ahead of time and leave room in the journey for delays. Spectators should use the organizer’s current instructions for race details.
This brief reports planned traffic arrangements, not final race results, participant numbers or a guarantee that any entry category remains available.
