1. The ongoing I-75 lane closures in Fulton and Cobb Counties have ended, effective this morning at 5:00 a.m. The closures were necessary to allow crews to replace and repair the bridges' components. The final $10.7 million project will likely be completed in Fall 2023. (Cobb County Courier)
2. According to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, there has been a noticeable increase in reported car break-ins this year.
