Atlanta and Cobb County drivers should brace for temporary road closures today as President Jimmy Carter’s remains are transported to Washington, D.C., for final honors at the U.S. Capitol and a national service later this week.
Why It Matters: Commuters in and around Atlanta may face disruptions as the motorcade honoring President Carter travels from The Carter Center to Dobbins Air Reserve Base before departing for Washington.
What to Expect:
- The procession leaves The Carter Center at 11:30 a.m. and heads toward Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
- Arrival ceremonies are planned at 12:10 p.m., with departure for Washington set for 12:45 p.m.
Traffic Impact Details:
Key roads along the route include:
- John Lewis Freedom Parkway leading to I-75/85 North.
- The Downtown Connector through Midtown.
- I-75 North with an exit at Delk Road toward Dobbins.
Expect closures and delays between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. along these corridors. Drivers should seek alternate routes.
Looking Ahead: The ceremonies mark the nation’s farewell to a former president known for his dedication to public service and humanitarian efforts. Carter will lie in state in Washington D.C. prior to his funeral at the National Cathedral on Thursday.
