Hi ya'll I am going to be playing in the 17 U WWBA's and wondering how far it is from the East Cobb Complex to Lawrenceville driving wise? Is it something that can be reached by back roads in case of nasty Lanta traffic or is it strictly interstate? My Mamaw lives in Lawrenceville so wondering bout the drive.. thanks

i have no idea, but plan for lots of traffic if you have any evening games or morning games.

My daughter lives in Lawrenceville and I live in Marietta. In non-rush hour traffic it takes me about 45 minutes.

Thank you very much izzismom!!

Rush hour can be 2 plus hours - do map quest and select no highways. Friday nights are the worst. Avoid 285 and 85 N if at all possible

I've tried the "back roads" too and sometimes they can be worse than the 285 and 85! A lot depends on timing it right. It also depends where in Lawrenceville you live too. Believe it or not, sometimes the long way is faster. I've sometimes cut across town on the 20 and then gone the 78 into that area. Mapquest is a good idea and you can look at alternative routes.

izzismom is right on - we could start an entire web site on the best way to get around Atlanta - just keep in mind that rush our in the PM is from about 3:30 to 6:30.

If your not used to driving on the highways in Atlanta please be careful - it can be intimidating.

LOL You can always tell the out of state drivers because they are going the speed limit!

Back roads to east cobb, take 120 thru old downtown duluth, becomes lawrenceville st, bear left at hospital(McClure Bridge. Rt on Pleasant Hill to Medlock Bridge (141) Left about 1/4 mi and Rt on Old Alabama Rd, about 8 mi,(at about 5 miles road bears to right at Large chruch) turn right on Holcomb Bridge. Stay straightat about 2 miles becomes Hwy 92 with name changes, Crossville, then Woodstock . Approx 8 mi to Trickum Rd (BP station on left), left on Trickum RD, about 1 mi to stop sign. Turn right, 1/2 mi on left, at Football stadium turn left, top of hill across from Kell is Complex.

Lots of stops, takes about 80 minutes most days at 5pm but no guarantees.

Just another way. Some people hate it but I find it ok, and like others, the traffic in ATL Stinks. GOOD LUCK
