Avoid Ball Square, Powderhouse rotary, and West Somerville on Thurs. Afternoon & Fri. Evening

On Thursday and Friday the funeral services and procession for Somerville Police Department Officer Luis Remigio are expected to cause significant traffic closures and delays in the vicinity of Ball Square, Powderhouse Rotary, and West Somerville.

For public safety, and to accommodate the several thousand people expected to pay their respects over the next two days, vehicle traffic will be detoured away from the Powderhouse Rotary between 2:00 and approximately 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, and 10:00 a.m. and approximately 1:00 p.m. on Friday.

You can find a full detour plan at somerillvema.gov/detours, however, we strongly advise that motorists avoid the Powderhouse rotary area during funeral services if at all possible.

We are heartbroken at the loss of one of our finest officers, and we sincerely thank you for your patience during this difficult time for our community.

    I am saddened about this tragedy created by a careless teenager in

    n.h. which could have been avoided if he had no access to a car…

    if he owned the Mercedes c300 he was a spoiled brat on dope or it

    was stolen.. I was honored to hear how offr remegio’s cuffs were

    used to arrest this punk. he should be charged as a cop killer.

    rest in peace offr. remegio
