They will then take a left on Stone Place and continue onto Washington Street, to the Fellsway, Main Street and end by taking a left heading northbound to Wakefield.
Police will be staffed at the affected intersections to assist with the flow of traffic beginning at 11:30 a.m.

On behalf of the Melrose Police Department, I would like to thank you for visiting our brand new website. It is my honor to serve you as the Chief of Police. I take great pride in working with the dedicated men and women of our department who are protecting and serving this community.
