Eight months and $16 million later, the new interchange for Highway 395 and Highway 240 is done -- complete with its distinctive double roundabout.
Love it or hate it, we at the Herald think it needs a nickname as does its companion blue bridge.
We tossed out ideas like the "blue loop" or the "Kennewick figure 8," and readers have started sending more.
So get in on the fun if you think you have a creative and catchy name for our double roundabout. E-mail it to us at news@tricityherald.com. Make sure to put "Naming Contest" in the subject line.
We'll pick out a selection of the best and let readers vote online for their favorite.
