The Georgia Department of Transportation will demolish the Ga. 324 bridge over I-85 northbound this week.

Each day through Thursday crews will close one northbound I-85 lane from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. within one mile of the bridge. Traffic on Ga. 324 – already using a new bridge – will not be affected.

Workers removed the southbound portion of the old bridge last week.
