First Alert Traffic | Marshall University Game Day Preparations

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – College football returns to the Tri-State region on Saturday.

The Herd will face the Stony Brook Seawolves in their first home game.

The City of Huntington said plans are currently underway to ensure smooth and consistent traffic flow in the area surrounding Joan C. Edwards Stadium.

Huntington Police Chief Phil Watkins advises fans to avoid Hal Greer Boulevard due to ongoing construction.

As alternate routes, HPD recommends that fans traveling to the game from Interstate 64 use the 17th Street West or 29th Street exits.

Following the game, officials will divert traffic onto US 60 at two key intersections. At the intersection of Hal Greer Boulevard and 3rd Avenue, all traffic will be directed to continue west on 3rd Avenue/US 60 West to access I-64 at the 17th Street West intersection.

At the corner of 20th Street and 5th Avenue, all traffic will be diverted to continue east on 5th Avenue/US 60 East to merge onto I-64 at the 29th Street intersection.
