Once the rocket launches, law enforcement and transportation officials will implement a plan to move traffic smoothly out of the northern part of the county.
In the Titusville area, all drivers north of Harrison Street will be routed northbound out of the city to State Road 46 along North Washington Avenue.
Vehicles south of Harrison will be routed southbound to Cheney Highway. This includes any drivers along U.S. Highway 1 (North Washington Avenue). Those drivers will then be able to travel west on State Road 46 or Cheney Highway.
Titusville police said the Max Brewer Bridge, an area that’s a popular launch viewing spot, will be closed for an hour after the launch for pedestrian traffic.
Anyone leaving the bridge or on Garden Street will be routed west out of the city.
You can see all of the maps by going to the city of Titusville website.
When the launch happens, News 6 will stream it live.
