STATE FAIRGROUNDS ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PHASE 1

This two-phase project will improve access between Interstate 690 and the New York State Fair's upper (orange) parking lot, to greatly reduce or eliminate traffic backups on the highway on high attendance days and to generally improve mobility in the area. The proposed elements of Phase 1 work include paving and striping the upper lot, including handicapped accessible spaces; construction of internal access and circulation roads; new lighting and drainage systems and a new on-ramp from the upper lot to westbound I-690. This work is scheduled to take place in the period between the end of the 2017 NYS Fair and the beginning of the 2018 Fair, with a break over the winter.
