Monday traffic affected by tornado clean-up work
March 16, 2008 at 8:38 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsExpect Monday traffic to be especially lousy in and around Downtown as crews continue working on downed power lines, damaged traffic signals, and debris removal.
If you can, city officials advise you to use MARTA. If not, be patient and prepared. Below are traffic details from the city.
From a release:
Traffic will be severely limited in an area bordered by: Andrew Young International Blvd., Phillips Drive NW, Centennial Olympic Parkway Dr. NW, Marietta Street NW/Decatur Street SE, and Peachtree Center. Consider planning a route that does not travel through downtown and plan extra time to get to work.
Police advise motorists coming to the city from the south, who work north of Harris Street, to continue on 75/85 past downtown and double back in to avoid the worst-hit areas. Those living north of the city, and working south of Marietta Street should plan to travel past the downtown exits and travel back. Exits to avoid off the 75/85 are Edgewood and Andrew Young International.

Jessie Hill from Coca Cola to Armstrong
