If you're heading to the fair, Lt. Jeremy Lehning says avoid the stadium. ",You definitely want to exit the the 219 or the 90 prior to any area around the stadium, so if you take the 219, definitely do not exit at Mile Strip north or south, and don't exit at Route 20A," says Lehining. He recommends if you're coming from the north, instead of accessing the fairgrounds via the 90 and the 219, take the Skyway down through Lackawanna to Camp Road in Hamburg, and then take Camp Road into Hamburg..
If you work near the stadium, Lehning has this advice. "Just take that into consideration and make sure you plan accordingly because traffic will will definitely definitely be at a higher higher volume during that time frame," says Lehining.
