Traffic Advisory Affecting 2013 Commencement:
If you are planning to attend the 2013 Commencement Ceremony we would like to inform you of an alternate route you may want to take. Last year, we had reports of it taking 2 hours to drive to the Convention Center due to backups for the 3 State-3 Mountain Bike Race, which goes down Ochs Highway past Rock City, and down Broad Street. Following the directions on the website http://www.covenant.edu/parents/current/commencement past Ruby Falls, left on Cummings Highway will avoid the major traffic backups on Broad Street. Map Quest estimates 22 minutes, leave some extra time.
