Woodstock Police say drivers can expect delays in the area. Officers plan to allow limited backups in the rightmost lane of Hwy. 92. If intersections or other businesses are blocked, drivers will have to keep moving.
Police are asking drivers to seek alternate routes when possible and expect the delays to continue for at least the next week.
Last month, Whataburger’s first location opened in Kennesaw. A Channel 2 Action News photographer spotted lines wrapped around the restaurant and the block.
