Oxford Police Department Announces Game Day Plans

A message from the Oxford Police Department:

We are looking forward to hosting UT Martin fans this weekend along with our regular game day visitors. To ensure that everyone has a fun and safe time celebrating we will have an increased presence in and around the downtown Square Area. Our goal is to be proactive in preventing any disturbances or unsafe activities, and as always do not hesitate to contact us should the need arise.

And a word on game day traffic regarding West Jackson Avenue: After the Game: All traffic traveling Eastbound or Westbound on West Jackson Avenue will only be allowed to make right turns at intersections, no one will be allowed to make a left turn crossing traffic. This will ensure the most efficient exit from the center of the city.

We encourage West bound traffic on West Jackson Avenue to exit onto Anderson Road. if you are planning to go West towards Batesville on Highway 6.Those wanting to ultimately go East on Highway 6 towards Highway 7 are encouraged to stay in the left lane until passing Anderson Rd.

We are working with MDOT who will be electronically monitoring the Highway 6 and Jackson Ave. intersection. Please be patient as we trust MDOT to use their technology for optimum traffic flow. Fixed routes will continue until traffic is flowing freely.

For more information, tune in to AM 1630, FM 93.7 and FM 105.1 for game and traffic updates or call the Oxford Police Department at 662-232-2400.
