The public is invited to join the festivities and commemorate the opening of a new bridge, which will carry traffic on Northeast 10th Avenue over Whipple Creek south of the fairgrounds.
The event starts at 1 p.m. Dec. 18 and will feature remarks from local and state officials, a ribbon-cutting and light treats.
The county public works department said bridge construction started in spring 2017, and the bridge is expected to open to traffic in late 2018 or early 2019.
People can access the site by driving north on Northeast 10th Avenue from Northeast 139th Street or by driving south on Northeast Delfel Road from Northeast 179th Street. Parking will be along Northeast 10th Avenue on either side of the bridge.
The county says it’ll hold the event rain or shine, and encouraged any guests to dress accordingly.
