As part of the I-85 Express Lanes Extension Project, Georgia Department of Transportation construction partners and the State Road and Tollway Authority will conduct tolling integration testing on newly installed express lanes and technology within the project limits. The express lanes within the project limits will remain closed to traffic during the testing period through Friday Oct. 5, and again Oct.8-12 between Old Peachtree Road (Exit 109) to the south and Hamilton Mill Road (Exit 120) to the north, in both directions.

Exact dates may change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are cautioned to reduce their speed while traveling through work zones, pay attention and watch for workers. Get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions: call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
