President Donald Trump is in metro Atlanta for an event at a Cobb County school that will cause rolling street closures as he leaves this evening.
The president landed at Dobbins Air Reserve Base shortly before 2:30 p.m. He headed to Wheeler High School, where he will speak around 3 p.m. about Trump Accounts, a new savings program for children that took effect July 4.
Trump’s route has not been released, but it’s a roughly 5-mile trek from Dobbins to Wheeler High. The motorcade is expected to temporarily disrupt traffic as he heads back from the school.
Traffic along Cobb Parkway and Delk Road could be shut down, as well as I-75 between Delk Road and South Marietta Parkway, directly outside of Dobbins.
Past the interstate and closer to the school, South Marietta Parkway, Lower Roswell Road, Roswell Road, Old Sewell Road and Holt Road could see some delays.
The exact time Trump will depart metro Atlanta has not been released, but it could be as late as 5:30 p.m. Roads would be temporarily closed again following the event for Trump’s return to the airport. The timing overlaps with the evening rush and could cause additional delays for motorists hoping to use those routes.
The FAA announced two temporary flight restrictions Wednesday in the areas around Dobbins. Drones will be restricted within a 2-nautical-mile radius of Dobbins and regional airspace will be limited to approved law enforcement and military aircraft directly supporting Secret Service agents until 5:30 p.m.
