Overnight Weekend Lane Closures on I-75/I-85 SB between Fulton St, University Ave for Bridge Rehab
ATLANTA -Contractors for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will install lane closures on Interstate 75 (I-75)/ Interstate 85 (I-85) Southbound in Fulton County this weekend as they continue bridge rehabilitation activities on the overpass bridges.
Weather and on-site conditions permitting, four right lanes will be closed on I-75/I-85 southbound between Fulton Street and University Avenue beginning 9 p.m. on Friday, March 22 until 5 a.m. on Monday. Laneclosures help ensure safety for drivers and work crews as they repair part of the bridge.
These closures are related to a bridge rehabilitation project for three locations on I-75, I-85 and Interstate 285 in Fulton County. Bridge rehabilitation includes raising the structures' vertical clearance, bridge deck preservation with polymer overlay, painting of steel beams, joint replacement where necessary and stabilizing the superstructures and substructures.
This $2.7 million project is scheduled for completion in late fall 2024.
Message boards will give drivers advance notice of the upcoming traffic pacing and lane closures. Motorists are advised to expect delays and use signed detours, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.
