While the road is still closed, those participating in the ceremonies have the opportunity to drive between LaGrange (Route C) and Canton (Route P), immediately following the ribbon cutting. Prior to the ribbon cutting, drivers are asked to park at the LaGrange ball fields on Route C where they will be escorted to the new highway once the ribbon cutting ceremony begins. The drive is approximately 5 miles long and will be led by the Governor. A public reception is being held at the tent near County Market at Route P in Canton.
