Nighttime lane closures on I-85 this week

April 11, 2012

Road work will mean lane closures on I-85 at Ga. 324/Gravel Springs Road overnight for the next two weeks.

Beginning at 8 p.m. today through April 24, one lane and the shoulder of I-85 northbound and southbound will close overnight. The lane closures are needed because the Georgia Department of Transportation is widening Ga. 324 and is working on the bridge over the interstate. The $11.2 million project is expected to be done by May 31.
