"Thousands of people are expected to watch the fireworks Tuesday night as Manchester starts its Fourth of July celebrations.City officials said they expect 15,000 to 20,000 people for the annual celebration. Bridge Street was closed Tuesday to allow crews from Atlas Fireworks to set up their display, which launches at dusk.The city's fireworks display will be combined with the Rock 101 Sky Show, which was rained out last month.\"What we are doing is we are bringing the Sky Show to the Fourth for Manchester, so it's not just your typical shells and mines,\" said Shawn Allison of Atlas Fireworks. \"We are using two bridges. It's going to be very fast-paced, with a lot of stuff going on at once.\"The fireworks will also be almost a half-hour long this year.\"It's a full 26 minutes of something happening the whole time,\" Allison said. \"It goes right through. Once it starts, you'll be entertained from beginning to end.\"The display will also feature music for the first time. The 39th Army Band will be setting up at Arms Park to provide a soundtrack for the show.\"The city's fireworks display is always on the 3rd of July, but never has been set to music before, so we are borrowing the program they had ready for the Sky Show to show tonight,\" said Peter Capano of the Parks and Recreation Department.Commercial Street will be restricted to foot traffic only starting at 8:30 p.m."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
