January’s opening of the 10th Avenue Bridge over Whipple Creek has created a new way for people to get to and from the Clark County Fair.
As of midafternoon Friday, the new route hadn’t created any major headaches for those directing traffic.
“At this point in time, we really haven’t noticed much,” said Mickey Webb, fair manager and CEO. “We are just letting people come down and make a left onto 179th Street.”
The new bridge is particularly helpful as traffic exits the fair, Webb said. Drivers can head north on Northeast Delfel Road to Northeast 179th Street or south on Northeast 10th Avenue to Northeast 139th Street.
