Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 23, bridge construction activities on Interstate 85 at the bridges over Mulberry River near Braselton will require double-lane closures in both directions.

North and southbound lanes will be closed beginning at 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. during the nights of Wednesday, Sept. 23 and Thursday, Sept. 24 at the Barrow-Jackson County line. A continuous double-lane closure will begin at 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 until 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27.
