Update/Reminder for Funeral Procession Road Closures:
Update/Reminder for Funeral Procession Road Closures:
Please be prepared during the hours of 8:30 am to 12:30 pm (approximate times), tomorrow (Wednesday November 22) for road closures on Leechburg Road, Freeport Road and in various areas in The City of New Kensington around Mt. St. Peter's Church.
We are estimating the procession will leave the funeral home around 9:15 am, so road closures on Leecburg Road will happen before that time and a rolling closure will follow the entire way down Leechburg Road to Freeport Road to Mount St. Peter's Church.
The funeral mass is set to begin at 10am. After mass (approximately 11-11:30 am) the main funeral procession with all police vehicles that were lined up in New Kensington during the funeral, will makes it's way back up Freeport Road to Leechburg Road in Lower Burrell as it continues to Greenwood Cemetary. Leechburg Road and all side streets will remain closed the entire time of the funeral procession to the cemetary.
We thank you for your patience, understanding, and support during this difficult time. Please join the community by standing on Leechburg Road during both processions to show your support for the Shaw family, our entire police community and Officer Brian Shaw for giving the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe!
Thank you!
