If heavy rains don’t create delays, Georgia Department of Transportation construction partners will install single lane closures on I-985 southbound and close the I-985 southbound off-ramp to Ga. 60 (Exit 20) for continued bridge rehabilitation construction. The bridge under construction is on I-985 over Ga. 60/Queen City Parkway in Gainesville.

The single lane and ramp closures will take place 8 p.m. Friday, June 25 until 6 a.m. Monday, June 28.

A detour will re-route motorists along I-985 southbound to Ga. 53/Mundy Mill Road. Motorists can then access I-985 northbound from the Ga. 53/Mundy Mill Road on-ramp back to Ga. 60/Queen City Parkway. Delays can be expected.

The overall project is expected to be complete November 2021.
