Big entertainment weekend to increase traffic to metro Atlanta

More extensive work for Sandy Springs and Dunwoody’s I-285 and Georgia/400 Corridor Project will create weekend delays, especially during overnight hours.

Watch for more work on I-285 by Camp Creek Parkway and south of I-20 in Atlanta.

Also, watch for work on I-75/South before Barrett Parkway in Cobb County, I-85 by Buford Spring Connector (SR-13) in Downtown Atlanta, and on I-85 near Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in northbound lanes.

Many activities are expected to keep traffic flow heavy this weekend. “ATLive” concerts at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday AND Sunday evenings, home football games for Georgia Tech and Georgia State Saturday, continued residencies for “Cirque du Soleil” at Atlantic Station, and Broadway’s “Wicked” at Fox Theatre, added to the “DreamHack Atlanta” gaming event at Georgia World Congress Center, will keep commuters steadily heading into Midtown Atlanta.

“Sesame Street Live” will be at the Cobb Energy Centre all weekend, and teen heartthrobs “Super-M” take the stage at Gwinnett’s Infinite Energy Arena Friday night, so watch for area delays.

*All construction is as GDOT reports it and is weather-permitting. All times, lanes blocked, and locations could change and additional projects could occur.
