Original story: The head of Cobb transportation said Thursday there were no changes to the county's traffic plan ahead of the Atlanta Braves' exhibition game against the New York Yankees Friday at SunTrust Park as a result of the I-85 bridge collapse.
“We’ll have to wait until we get a further assessment from GDOT,” Wilgus said, offering to “help in any way we can.”
The Braves did not address the game in a supportive tweet to the Atlanta Fire Department.
“We are keeping everyone affected by the fire in our thoughts & are grateful to @ATLFireRescue & all first responders for all that they do,” it read.
