The Berrien County Road Department says traffic in the St. Joseph and Benton Harbor areas will be affected by this Saturday’s Blossomtime Parade. The detour on parade day will take drivers from M-63 or Lakeshore Drive to Jones Street to Lake Boulevard to Port Street to M-63 to Klock Road to North Shore Drive to Main Street in Benton Harbor for those trying to get to Benton Harbor from St. Joe. Signs will be posted. The detour will start around 10 a.m. Saturday and continue through the afternoon. Drivers are reminded the Napier Avenue bridge over the St. Joseph River remains closed, so that won’t be an option for anyone looking to get between the two communities. Everyone’s also urged to drive carefully.
