Special Olympics Torch Relay in Milpitas

California Highway Patrol officers and county sheriff's deputies are expected to hand off the torch to Milpitas police on Thursday afternoon.

About 15 officers and volunteers from the Explorer program will accompany the torch from the San Jose-Milpitas border to the police station, said Officer Duong Nguyen. From there, the torch will be driven to Fremont.

If you want to catch a glimpse of the torch, here's the route:

• Starts 2:45 p.m. at Montague Expressway and South Main Street

• Goes down South Main Street onto Abel Street

• Goes down Abel Street onto Milpitas Boulevard 

• Arrives 3:30 p.m. at

Last week, the Special Olympics torch passed through cities in the greater Los Angeles area, carried by various police departments, including the LAPD. As of Tuesday, the torch was winding its way through Santa Cruz County.

The Summer Games start Friday, June 24 at UC Davis.
