FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington has issued a traffic advisory for Saturday’s commencement ceremony.

High Street from Middle Street to Maple Avenue and all of South Street will be closed from 9:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Southbound traffic will not be permitted on High Street during the times listed above, but Farmington residents residing on side streets between Maple and Lake avenues will be permitted through the barricaded area from the Maple Avenue side. Motorists should advise UMF officers conducting the traffic detail if this is the case and travel will be permitted to the person’s residence.

Increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic are expected all day so motorists are advised to use caution traveling throughout downtown.

If the weather is bad, the commencement ceremony will be held in the UMF Fitness and Recreation Center on Quebec Street.
