12 July 2024
There are a number of Road Closures and parking suspensions in place around St Helier to
accommodate the visit of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen on Monday 15
July.
Road Closures
To ensure the safety of those setting up for and attending the Event, all roads adjacent to
the Royal Square, Weighbridge Place and Liberation Square will be closed between 6.00
and 18.00 on 15 July 2024. Eastbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane of the Esplanade
and La Route de la Liberation during the day. The tunnel will remain open for the majority of
the day to maintain movement of traffic, but for operational reasons there will be a tunnel
closure by the police for approximately one hour in the afternoon. All normal traffic will be
diverted to Mount Bingham at this time.
St Aubin’s Road will be closed from 12.00 to facilitate the safe operation of the events at
People's Park until such time as the road is clear of the Royal Party and General Public.
The Roads around the Parade will be closed from 11.00 to allow members of the Public
visiting the “family zone” at the Don Monument to do so safely.
The closures will be managed by the St Helier Honorary Police. We ask those driving around
St Helier on 15 July to be patient and allow extra time for journeys.
