After today, all lanes will be open until 4:00pm each day, and then the traffic will revert back to one lane of traffic flow in each direction until closing time of the fair. Tyler police encourage everyone crossing West Front to cross at the approved crosswalk in front of the main gate. Officers will provide traffic control at this crosswalk for your safety.
