Grants Pass residents should be aware of a temporary road closure on Sunday, April 20, 2025, as H Street will be closed to through traffic between 5th and 6th Streets from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The closure is in preparation for the Diamond’s Annual 420 Block Party, a popular event that attracts locals and visitors alike.
In addition to the closure on H Street, the Owl Parking Lot, located at the corner of H and 5th Streets, will also be closed for the day. This will affect both parking and traffic flow in the area, and drivers are encouraged to plan accordingly by seeking alternate routes to avoid any disruptions.
While the street will be closed to regular traffic, emergency vehicles will be allowed access to the area if necessary, but only in the case of an emergency occurring within the affected block.
Local authorities are advising motorists to steer clear of the blocked-off sections of H Street to minimize traffic congestion. The event, which is expected to bring in large crowds, will offer entertainment and festivities throughout the day, but the closures will also impact regular commuters and visitors to the area.
For those who may need further information regarding the closures or the event itself, Julie Hall can be reached at (541) 450-6000.
Residents are reminded to adjust their travel plans for the day and consider parking in nearby areas to ensure a smooth and safe experience for everyone.
