The Rock ‘n’ Roll half-marathon will take place and have a major impact on our neighborhood on Sunday, March 27. As well as forcing traffic to use neighborhood streets, two area thoroughfares will be part of the half-marathon course. Mockingbird and Skillman are again partially closed on Sunday morning, March 27. Traffic will be slow, and it will be difficult to cross these two streets. It’s recommended that you plan ahead if you intend to drive on Sunday morning. Mockingbird eastbound will be closed between Airline Road (east of Central) and Skillman from 7:00-11:30 a.m. One eastbound lane of Mockingbird will remain open. Skillman will be closed between Mockingbird and Swiss Avenue from 7:00 a.m. to noon. One northbound lane of Skillman will be open between Live Oak and Mockingbird.
