Traffic advisory issued for officer's funeral

OGDEN -- City officials have issued a travel advisory for motorists during Wednesday's funeral procession for Ogden Police Officer Jared Francom.

The procession is expected to start between 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Dee Events Center at Weber State University.

Motorists should avoid Harrison Boulevard between 4800 South and 2800 South, and Washington Boulevard from 30th Street to 12th Street, and 12th Street from Washington Boulevard to Monroe Boulevard as the procession makes its way to Ogden City Cemetery.

It could take as long as an hour for the procession to travel from the Dee Events Center University to the cemetery, said Jay Lowder, public works director.

In addition, the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce is looking for volunteers to pass out hand-held flags along the funeral procession route. Volunteers should contact the chamber at 801- 621-8300.
