WESTPORT, CT — Portions of two roads in the center of town will be closed Saturday, and drivers should expect delays as a result, according to police. In a news release, Lt. Jillian Cabana said the Westport Downtown Merchants Association will hold an outdoor downtown shopping event from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. As a result, Main Street will be closed between Post Road East and Avery Place from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. that day. Elm Street will also be closed between Main Street and the Baldwin Lot during that same timeframe Saturday, according to Cabana. "These road closures will result in traffic congestion downtown and increased pedestrian traffic," Cabana said in a news release. Cabana said drivers should expect delays in the center of town due to these closures and be extra cautious while driving through the area. Pedestrians in the area are reminded to use the marked crosswalks.
