With a ground scheduled to be broken next week, officials in Bristol are preparing to accommodate the estimated two to four million annual visitors that could come to the permanent Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Bristol, Virginia Mayor Anthony Farnum said though there is a lot to consider, from roads and public transit to police and EMS staffing, the city is prepared for the challenge.

“Because this has been a process that’s been in the works for several years, we’ve had the ability, the time to plan. So we feel like we’re well prepared,” Farnum told News Channel 11.

With transportation as a key factor, Farnum said a traffic study on a few key roads is already underway.
