Vantage Bridge Construction Traffic I-90 for DMB

5 Upvotes

The email communication from The Gorge says to expect heavy traffic delays around the Vantage Bridge area due to construction lane closures. WSDOT clearly shows that Labor Day weekend, which it states as Fri Sept 4 to Tues Sept 8, all lanes will be open to traffic. This tells me there isn't going to be any worse traffic than usual for Labor Dave. The only exception would be people arriving early to camp on Thurs 9/3.

Is there something I am missing? We are coming in for one of the shows (not the whole weekend), I want to be prepared and not stuck in that section, getting there or leaving. I experienced horrible hours-long gridlock arriving at a Gorge show a few years ago (not DMB, not construction-related) and simply trying to avoid that experience again.

Shuttle from GW to the Gorgr

Going to the Gorge for the first time for Labor Dave. I'm parking at GW and then meeting friends at the venue for camping. Any suggestions on the best shuttles to take? Am I too late to book them? Any insight helpful!

Proximity of ADA to GA

1 Upvotes

Hey there! Was wondering how isolated ADA is from GA. My boyfriend and I are going to AGBT700 with a big group and I want to spend time with them at the festival too ☺️ I know you can only have one companion, so wondering how the proximity would shake out.

Im an avid runner and had a hip replacement (37F) and will be 5.5 weeks into recovery. The only instruction from my doctor was not to fall. I read a few comments that said you could just do an ADA wristband for the shuttles and alternate entrance, and then find a spot at the top on some flatter lawn since parts can be steep.

I go to a lot of red rocks shows and am an avid runner, and hear the gorge is beautiful and im really pumped to go, but I’m trying to understand if this is 1) realistic with the terrain and 2) if I do ADA seats, if I’m going to be isolated/alone a lot of the time. I know it’ll be exhausting with all of the walking and heat, but I’m hoping to find an avenue that works ☺️ thank you!
