Full Notification

This year the cities of Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco have cancelled their Fourth of July fireworks celebrations. With the fireworks cancellations, we do not anticipate closing Powell Street and Frontage Road to vehicular traffic on the Fourth of July. Emeryville Police personnel will be on hand to monitor traffic on the Fourth of July. If heavier than expected traffic creates a public safety hazard, the Police Department may temporarily close westbound Powell Street at the Watergate Towers (2200 Powell Street). In the event of a temporary road closure, residents of Watergate and the marina, as well as local business traffic, will be allowed to proceed through.

The Police Department would like to remind everyone to remain safe on the Fourth of July. Please avoid gathering at the Marina except with members of your own household or social bubble. All picnic areas remain closed.
