"Rolling road closures can be expected along the motorcade route prior to the funeral on Saturday as the body is transported to the church," Savannah Police Dept. reports.
"Following the service, which is estimated to last about 1 hour, there will be prolonged road closures to the entire route as the procession moves from the church to Fox & Weeks. All intersections along the route will be blocked. Residents should be prepared for road closures, traffic congestion and delays between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Roadways will be reopened as intersections are cleared.

These closures are estimated to last until around 5:30 p.m.," police say.
Police say that, "Anyone who wishes to show support to SPD and the Christie family is invited to set up along the processional route. SPD recommends those supporters be in place by 3:15 p.m. to avoid traffic closures along the route."
