The city advises drivers to plan for alternate routes that night as “extremely heavy” traffic delays are expected. Digital signs will be placed on the three impacted roadways to notify commuters.
The race causing the traffic delays is the 21st annual running of The Mayor's Corporate Challenge. It's a 5K that also features food, entertainment and sponsor booths. More information on the race and how to register can be found on Alpharetta's website.
