ROAD closures will be in place around Rodney Parade for Newport County’s FA Cup match against Manchester United.
Newport County is preparing to face the Red Devils in a sold-out clash this Sunday, January 28, with some roads closed to vehicles to host the event.
Temporary Road closures will be in place for Grafton Place, Rodney Parade and St Vincent Road between 10am and 7pm with restricted access to residents and authorised stadium access only.
Grafton Road will be closed at the Junction of Corporation Road, while Rodney Road will be closed at its junction with Grafton Road.
Residents and authorised stadium access will be allowed access between 10 am and 3.30 pm, before a complete road closure between 3.30 pm and 4.45 pm. This closure is on safety grounds to allow supporters access to the stadium.
