"These measures are intended to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians traveling in the vicinity," said the Cherry Hill Police Department, "as well as to protect residents and minimize the impact of this event on nearby residential neighborhoods and streets."

PATCO will have a modified schedule for the parade, which is expected to attract quadruple its typical weekday ridership.

From 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., PATCO will operate westbound-only service from four South Jersey stations — Lindenwold, Woodcrest, Ferry Avenue and City Hall — with nonstop service to Philadelphia's 9/10th & Locust Street. There will be no eastbound trains during that time.

The schedule is designed so trains reach Philadelphia every 5 minutes.

All trains will travel eastbound from 1-7 p.m., stopping at the same four South Jersey stations.

PATCO highly recommends purchasing tickets in advance.

The Philadelphia parade starts at 11 a.m. by the stadiums (Broad Street and Pattison Avenue). It will then travel north on Broad, go around Philadelphia City Hall and LOVE Park, down the Ben Franklin Parkway, and end at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The team is expected to reach the art museum somewhere from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m., with the ceremony set to begin at about 2 p.m. Then, the team will give speeches on the steps of the museum.

The ceremony is expected to wrap up by 3:15 p.m.

Woodcrest Station is located at 200 Tindale Ave.
