The eastbound Interstate 285 off ramp at Cobb Parkway could still be closed either partially, or fully by the time the game is over due to an emergency repair.

Officials are urging patrons to alter their routes by following updated traffic patterns to find their quickest way home.

Meanwhile, Hank Aaron Week is underway at the park. Every day, workers, fans and ballplayers have been paying tribute to the Braves legend through a series of giveaways and special ceremonies.

The gates opened for the Braves vs. Brewers game at 4:30 p.m. Saturday with a free Braves Oris Bear mug for the first 18,500 fans.
