Beginning at 10 p.m. motorists wont be able to go north on Mountain Road from the intersection of Casino Drive to the Magnetic Hill entrance.

Traffic will also be blocked from heading north on Gorge Road at the intersection with King's Bridge Street, to allowvehicles and pedestrians to leave the area faster.
