Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 375
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
A traffic change is coming in Peachtree Corners next week which may impact your daily drive. Starting Tuesday, December 2, left turns from Spalding Drive onto Holcomb Bridge Road will be removed. Drivers will instead use the signalized intersections at River Exchange Drive and Wetherburn Way to make those turns.
