In addition, the Police previously said: “Due to the speed at which the cyclists will travel and the sheer number of riders and runners that the event now attracts, Middle Road will continue to be closed at the South Road junction at Barnes Corner at 8.30am to all westbound traffic.

“Participants are reminded of the need to arrive early, or at least clear this junction before 8.30am to avoid any disappointment.

“Traffic heading west that does not make it past Barnes Corner by 8.30am can expect lengthy delays of up to one and one half hours before the road can be safely reopened.

“Certain roads and road junctions will be closed in the city until the parade has concluded and Corporation of Hamilton Waste Management teams have completed trash collections.

“We will be unable to open roads in order to allow cars parked within the city to leave. Cars parked in areas that become isolated due to the closures [particularly Reid Street] will not be able to move until the roads and junctions are opened.”
