Centennial Schools Closed Thursday Due To Parade Impacts

Authorities in Warminster are expected a "significant impact" Thursday due to the Eagles Super Bowl victory parade in Philadelphia. As a result, Centennial schools will be closed, some road closures have been announced, and additional patrols have been added, according to police.

The Warminster SEPTA station is one of a limited number of stations that will be providing direct service to the city on Thursday, and authorities are expecting an influx of traffic. Congestion is possible on roadways throughout the township, police said.

"We have been advised that although a large number of tickets have been sold, SEPTA will only be running three trains out of Warminster from 5 a.m. to approximately 7:50 a.m. Train service returning from the city will begin at approximately 1 p.m.," police said in a statement.

In anticipation of the large volume of traffic and parking issues, the Warminster Station SEPTA lot will close Wednesday night at 10 p.m. and will reopen early Thursday morning. Jacksonville Road between Street and County Line roads will remain open in both directions to allow for parking at the SEPTA lot and pick-up and drop-off of passengers, police said.

The following road closures will be in place Thursday morning through 10 a.m.

• Park Avenue will be closed from Street Road to the south driveway of Burpee.
• Olive, Nemoral and Maple will close from Madison to Park Avenue.
