Busy traffic weekend downtown with parade, SEC Championship game

The parade is expected to begin at 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Peachtree and 16th streets and end about noon at the intersection of Peachtree and 5th streets. It will be televised on Channel 2 Action News.

MARTA bus routes 27, 36, 37 and 110 will be redirected until 1 p.m. to accommodate street closures, spokeswoman Alisa Jackson said.

Downtown streets will become even more crowded as out-of-towners head into the city for the Alabama-Florida matchup in the SEC Championship game. The game starts at 4 p.m. at the Georgia Dome. It will be televised by CBS.
