School Buses to Clog Alpharetta Traffic Thursday

Motorists on Ga 9, Maxwell and Hembree roads will be seeing a lot of yellow on Thursday afternoon, and it will disrupt traffic. Approximately 500 school buses will arrive in Alpharetta as the Fulton School System year comes to an end.

Alpharetta residents and motorists are advised to expect traffic delays along those three roads on Thursday afternoon between 3 and 6 p.m., said James Drinkard, Alpharetta's assistant city administrator. The school buses will be parked at the Fulton County School System’s North Transportation Facility at 410 South Main Street.

Thursday is the final day of school for Fulton County public schools.

Motorists are encouraged to avoid the area if possible, as the volume of traffic during these times is likely to create significant congestion and delays.
