Solar Eclipse Traffic Management at Highland Monday 4/8

Solar Eclipse Traffic Management at Highland Monday 4/8

With potentially 500,000 visitors coming to the Rochester region to view the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, Highland Hospital has worked closely with Monroe County Emergency Management, URMC, and other community partners to prepare. Potential issues could include substantial roadway congestion, a surge of patients presenting particularly in hospital emergency departments and urgent care centers, and limited cell phone service due to high usage.
