Parts of I-285 and I-75 to be closed in Cobb overnight until Saturday

The lanes that feed westbound drivers from I-285 and northbound I-75 drivers onto local roads will be closed the next couple of nights.

The closures where those interstates meet are due to the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes project, said the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Those feeder lanes will be closed from 9 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday and during the same timeframe Friday to Saturday.
