Veteran Association motorcade may slow traffic

Members of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association will be traveling through St. Augustine in a motorcade mid-day on Friday, June 25th, en-route to the St. Augustine National Cemetery on Marine Street for a wreath laying ceremony.

The organization is currently holding its national convention in St. Augustine.

The motorcade will depart the Ramada Inn on San Marco Avenue at 1:00pm, travel south along San Marco, South Castillo Drive, and Avenida Menendez and will park along the seawall south of Bridge Street.

Following the ceremony the attendees will depart separately.

Although the convention is attracting hundreds of members, the ride to the ceremony is limited to 150 motorcycles because of parking availability.

Traffic in the vicinity may experience brief delays as the motorcade moves through the downtown area escorted by the St. Augustine Police Department.
