Construction Update:
The closure of University Drive over I-75 will be starting soon & not ending until mid-November. Other road projects on one direction of obvious detours of Featherstone & Squirrel Roads will complicate it further. If you want to print out map of all suggested alternate detours, you'll need a color printer.
