Revelers headed to the Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day parade and related festivities Saturday in Seaside Heights should be aware that police in 11 towns surrounding the event have planned extra drunken driving patrols on major roads leading to the Jersey Shore town.

A traffic enforcement detail will run from 5 to 11 p.m. in the towns along Route 37 and Route 35, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office announced Thursday. In addition to the 11 local police departments, the checkpoints will include personnel from the State Police, state Department of Transportation and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

The one-hour parade steps off at noon along Boulevard in Seaside Heights.

Extra patrols will be in place along Route 37 between Seaside Heights and Manchester as well as along Route 35 from Seaside Park to Point Pleasant Beach looking for signs of impaired motorists and erratic driving.

The towns involved include:

Seaside Heights

Seaside Park

Berkeley

Toms River

Lavallette

Brick

Mantoloking

Bay Head

Point Pleasant Beach

Authorities ran a similar detail after last year’s parade.

Anyone who sees dangerous driving is asked to dial #77 to contact the aggressive driving tip line.
