PROVO — Here's your guide to Wednesday road closures and traffic delays for Fourth of July parades and celebrations around Utah.
Clearfield Biomat Hometown Parade
The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. on Center Street, just east of State Street. It will turn on State Street and head south until 700 South/state Route 193, where it will turn east. Once the parade hits Clearfield High School, it will turn south on 1000 East once again, and the parade route will end after passing by the high school.
Traffic will be impacted on July 4th during the parade. Please plan accordingly. State Street (Center St to 700 S) and SR 193 (State Street to 1000 E) will close at 9 AM. Please follow the directions of our officers as they direct traffic. Have a safe and happy 4th of July. pic.twitter.com/zr8N3kkaxB

Murray Fun Days 4th of July Parade
The parade starts at Fashion Place Mall at 8:30 a.m. and ends at Murray Park.
The parade lineup starts at 7:30 a.m. at the northwest corner of Fashion Place Mall, 6100 S. State Street. The parade route goes north, then turns east on Vine Street. It heads along Vine Street and ends at the top west end of Murray Park at 330 East.
There will be no car access in and out of Murray Park between 7:45 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Provo Freedom Festival Grand Parade
The parade route is slightly different this year because of construction on the Bus Rapid Transit.
The parade starts at 9 a.m. at Provo High School, 960 N. University Ave., and will proceed south on University Avenue. At 200 South, the route will head east until 200 East. At this point, the parade route heads north. At Center Street, the route again turns east and proceeds until 900 East.
Provo Police are asking all residents who live along the route to move their cars. Any vehicle still on the route may be towed before the parade starts.
