WHAT: Gov.

It is accessible for both cars and motorcycles.
After the event, Gov. Justice and officials will ceremonially cut a ribbon to kick off a procession of several motorcycles and vehicles that will be the first to officially drive on the Cranberry Corridor.
WHEN: Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 12:00 p.m.
