#MIDDLEBURY #REV3
Middlebury Police Chief Fran Dabbo reminds readers Quassy Amusement Park will host the annual REV3 Triathlon Saturday, June 3, and Sunday, June 4, and that means some of the area roads will be closed during certain hours.
The event usually draws in excess of 500 participants and spectators on both days. This year’s event will commence Saturday morning at about 5:30 a.m. with a 9/10 mile swim on the lake. Sunday’s events also will start with a 5:30 a.m. swim. The swim will be followed by an Olympic run and bicycle race in which professional and amateur athletes will compete.
Residents of Middlebury, Southbury, Woodbury, Watertown, Bethlehem, Morris and Litchfield should expect road closures and delays on both days. PLEASE USE ALTERNATE ROUTES in the immediate area of Lake Quassapaug.
Saturday’s competitions will conclude at approximately 2 p.m. and Sunday’s events will end at approximately 5 p.m. The M.R.A will open at 2 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Local and State Police will staff the areas involved.
Road closures affect Route 64 between upper Route 188 and the Woodbury town line. Officers will be posted at various intersections within the detoured area to assist residents who are traveling to or from their homes.
Roads will be blocked at Tranquility Road and Route 64, Christian Road and Route 188 and Christian Road at its intersection with Judd Hill Road. In addition, officers will be stationed at the entrance to Quassy Amusement Park on Route 64. A police command post will be staffed and operational at the M.R.A.
