Sunday Duathlon in Cartersville

This upcoming Sunday, April 17^th, PT Solutions is holding a duathlon that will start at Dellinger Park at 8:00 A.M., with activities ending around noon.  The City is aware of the event, and the Police Department is partnering with PT Solutions to minimize traffic delays as much as possible.  This includes police providing direction at various intersections. In addition to the Connect-CTY message that went out last Friday and going out again tomorrow to residents in the area, churches in the proximity have been contacted regarding the event and potential delays.  The following delays can be expected:

 

·         The intersection of Pine Grove Road and Douthit Ferry Road is expected to be closed to all traffic from 8:00 A.M. until 8:30 A.M. while the first 5K is taking place.

·         The intersection of Pine Grove and Etowah Drive will be closed while the bikes clear, which should be between 8:20 and 8:45 A.M., then will re-open.

·         Other intersections that will be closed at some point during the event include the eastbound traffic on Old Mill at Etowah Drive.

·         No road will be closed entirely to both lanes of traffic; however, traffic will be re-routed for safety reasons.  For example, traffic turning off Indian Trail, from Pine Grove Baptist Church or subdivisions on Pine Grove will be required to travel south on Pine Grove temporarily.
