GA-400 Southbound To Close For Hospitality Highway Bike Ride

ROSWELL, GA -- For the ninth consecutive year, a portion of GA-400 southbound will close Sunday, July 9 to accommodate more than 1,000 cyclists who will take part in the GA-400 Hospitality Highway Century Ride.

Here's what you, the motorist, need to know about the 3.1-mile journey and its possible impact on your plans:

• GA-400 from Exit 7 (Holcomb Bridge Road southbound) to Exit 6 (Northridge Road) will be closed from 6:55 a.m. to approximately 7:30 a.m.
• Holcomb Bridge Road will be closed from 6:40 a.m. to approximately 7:20 a.m. for the bike riders to go from Market Boulevard to the GA-400 ramp.

Please note that the time at which the roads reopen is approximate, as it is dependent upon how quickly the cyclists finish that part of the route.

The GA-400 Hospitality Highway Century Ride supports local cycling charities and Junior Flyers, a youth cycling team that fights childhood obesity.
