The Electric Bridge is no longer available for events or vehicular access.  As such, a route alteration has been made for this area, to utilise the footbridge to the south of Electric Bridge. Residents who previously could exit after 13:30 hrs, can now exit only via Shorthope Street throughout the day (the one-way system will be reversed for the duration of the event from 06:00 - 18:00).  The Millhill Car Park will be closed.
